Chapter 233: This Food Is Not So Delicious

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.

Wang Bo has been a soldier in Daming for more than ten years, and he knows the army of Daming very well. Even the most powerful border army has rotted to the bone.

But the soldiers of those overseas people are not ordinary. He saw with his own eyes the Liaomin turtle that was dying of starvation, and he was trained as a strong soldier in less than a year. Even the strongest generals in the hands of several righteous sons around Mao Dashuai in Dongjiang Town, they met on the battlefield, and they couldn't beat these soldiers who claimed to be trained by overseas people.

So these days he has been thinking about it, after all, there is such a back road in front of him now, and his family has also been handed over to those overseas people, all of whom are settled on a large island near North Korea. Some brothers from Dongjiang Town have specially sailed there, and it is said that the brothers' family members are now having a good time eating and drinking.

These days, a lot of old brothers from Dongjiang Town have come one after another, and they are all looking for him to discuss whether to defect to those overseas people. Without Mao Shuai in Dongjiang, it is impossible to say whether they can resist the attack of the Tartars in the future, and when it really comes, the brothers will have no way to live.

Wang Bo is also thinking about this matter these days, and he thinks about it even deeper. Those overseas people have strict rules, and if the brothers go to the past, they will always be afraid that they will not be able to mix with the overseas people.

In the Ming Army, he is a military attache himself, if he really wants to go to the overseas side, if he is a big soldier, he can't say anything about that old face. But such words really can't be said directly, so he has been in conflict.

He was going to go to the big island in North Korea in the south for a while, to find out the tone of those overseas people, if Brother Song was here, if there was anything to say, just mention it to him directly.

But that Brother Song disappeared when he left. Where to find him? While he was not sure what to pay attention to, one of his men reported that a large iron ship of an overseas had sailed into the bay.

Wang Bo hurriedly rushed out of the water village to the beach, and at this time, the No. 1 landing ship just rushed to the stall and opened the huge front tongue door. Wang Bo saw Song Tao walk down from the boat at a glance.

He ran up excitedly and took Song Tao's hand enthusiastically. With a bitter face, he said, "My brother, you are here." Brother, I look forward to you every day. ”

Song Tao was overly affectionate by Wang Bo's excessively affectionate actions, which made the chrysanthemum cold, and quickly pulled his hand back.

"I said, brother, what are you doing here, don't you. Aren't you having a good time here? Oh...... I know. You miss your sister-in-law, that's easy to do, I'll let someone send your sister-in-law back to you tomorrow. ”

When Wang Bo heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother, let's let that old lady stay on the island, Dongjiang Town is already in chaos." Mao Shuai asked Inspector Yuan to behead him on Shuangdao. Now the hearts of the old brothers are all slipping, if Dongjiang Town loses Mao Shuai, the Tartars will call in the future, and it will be said whether they can hold it. ”

Song Tao knew it in his heart as soon as he heard it, it seems that history has not changed, Lao Yuan still killed Mao Wenlong, and now Dongjiang Town may have been messed up. If there was no Far East Company for them before, then Lao Yuan would really be able to stabilize the Dongjiang River temporarily. But now that they have their suspension, these low-level generals of the Dongjiang River can't sit still.

After all, the strength of the Far Eastern Company is here, and it has also saved more than 200,000 Liao people in Dongjiang Town. Even the families of those Dongjiang veterans and ruffians had taken thousands of people, so they all figured out that Wang Bo came over to find out.

Thinking of this, Song Tao smiled and said, "Brother, you said so much, do you have anything to say to me?" I'm not sure what you mean. Do our brothers still need to work so hard? You play this dumb riddle, my brother really can't guess it. ”

Wang Bo was a little embarrassed by Song Tao's squeeze. He smiled and said, "Recently, some old brothers have come to me and asked me if I can join you." These old brothers came with some brothers who could fight, but they didn't know what the rules were when they got to the old brothers. ”

Song Tao smiled and said: "I can't be the master of this matter, brother, I have to ask you, but I want to get to the end, I want to come to our place to eat mixed rice, like planting a field or something, eat and drink so much that I didn't say it." But if you want to mix in the army, you have to survive at least 100 days of hardship. ”

Wang Bo was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, what kind of hardship are you suffering in these 100 days?" ”

Song Tao said with a smile: "First of all, I practiced for a hundred days in a row, even if it was a knife in the sky, it would not stop. Then dog days need to stand still for half a day. In the end, I had to carry dozens of pounds of sandbags on my back and run ten miles without breathing. ”

Wang Bo was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground when he heard this, he was in his thirties, and he had been in the Ming army for more than ten years before he got to the general. But I've never practiced like this, and it's going to kill you if you practice like this. “

"My dear brother, you're not scaring me, are you? This kind of training is repayable, even if the soldiers are fed twice a day, the soldiers can't stand it. ”

Song Tao pursed his lips and sneered: "Do you know what our soldiers eat every day? Three meals of white rice and white flour steamed buns are enough, and you can eat them casually with an open stomach, and you can eat a few pieces of meat at noon. A few days before the war, there were big fish and meat every day, and you said that our soldiers could not carry it. ”

When Wang Bo heard this, he was stupid at the time, he looked at Song Tao in a daze, these are too losers. Even if it is the family of the generals, it is enough to eat two meals a day, if they raise thousands of soldiers like them, the food alone will have to make the generals of the Ming Dynasty poor.

Not to mention the arrears of the Ming Dynasty, even if the salary is issued is seventy percent of the norm, this is still the border army, and the military households in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty can't even eat enough, one by one like a flower child.

"Brother, is it really enough to eat three meals of white rice? How many pieces of meat are left at noon? Wang Bo asked in disbelief.

Song Tao frowned and said: "Brother, I can't lie to you, although there is no meat sooner or later, but green vegetables and pickles can be eaten casually." At noon, there is not always meat every day, and sometimes there is fish. If you don't believe me, go and ask those soldiers, they all fled to us from your Dongjiang last year, and they started to eat food as soldiers in our place again.

Not to mention the soldiers, it is the Liao people who work for us to farm the land, although there is no white rice and white flour, but coarse grain cakes and sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes are still full and can be eaten casually. We have laid down a large island in the South Seas from the hands of the Franciscans, and I will take a few thousand men there this winter, and then each of them will have to divide the land, and if there is no wife, I will get some women in the local area, and I will match the brothers with mothers-in-law. ”

Wang Bo opened his mouth wide, and looked at Song Tao in disbelief, this group of overseas people is too broad. If this treatment is given, even those soldiers under him can train for a hundred days. I'm tired and afraid of a fart, the days of eating meat every day, when the Tartars don't come, those rich families in Liaodong may not be able to live it.

Not to mention that in the future, I will have to divide the land and wife, this is a special soldier, this is simply a special son.

"Brother, if you have such words, I will gather the old brother and see what the big guy has to say."

He ran away, Song Tao looked at Wang Bo's back, and laughed secretly in his heart, if these soldiers knew the news, it would be strange if they weren't crazy.

Li Ming walked over from a distance and asked with a smile: "What did you say to Wang Bo, look at him like a bear." ”

Song Tao said with a smile: "Lao Yuan still beheaded Mao Wenlong in the end, now the people of Dongjiang Town are panicking, and the veteran ruffians of Dongjiang want Wang Bo to come over and ask to see if he can defect to us." When we went to Manila this time, didn't we want to give each of these ruffians some land, and if they didn't have wives, get some indigenous women and give them a wife? Wang Bo went crazy when he heard this, and went to gather the veteran ruffian. ”

Li Ming shook his head and said, "There is no shortage of brave soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, but civilian officials are too fucked up to lead the troops." The arrears and lack of food are like calling flowers. It's a shame that this soldier can win battles. ”

At night, boats kept entering the bay from outside the island, and when it was dark, hundreds of veterans from Dongjiang Town came. They are all low-level generals like General Manager and General Qian.

Wang Bo sent a large number of people to find all the veteran ruffians who had a good relationship with him. These people gathered in his water village and asked Wang Bo for news one by one. Their hearts have long been grassy, Dongjiang doesn't want to stay for a day, and as soon as Mao Shuai dies, they all panic.

"For such a long time, you gave a word, so that our hearts were not in decline every day."

"Yes, Lao Wang, what did those overseas people say? You'll have to give us a word of approval. The brothers below are almost overwhelmed. ”

"I went to the big island in the south a few days ago, and I heard my wife say that this island is North Koreans, and these overseas people are so ruthless, they have been beaten alive, and the North Koreans don't dare to let go of a fart."

Wang Bo saw the commotion below, so he waved his hand, and then told them what Song Tao said. These veteran ruffians below blew up the camp as soon as they heard it. Paralyzed, these overseas people are so rich that they actually feed the soldiers so well. Even if they are crazy every day, they can only eat a few meals of meat a year.

"It's really fake, don't take us away, and then deduct our food and salary as before."

"Yes, Lao Wang, have you inquired accurately? If it's really like what they say, even if Lao Tzu doesn't deserve it, it's worth it, and if I give me land and wives in the future, I can sell my life to them. ”

"This is not fake, I went to that big island, my old lady and a few babies, every day thick flour cakes, sweet potatoes or something, eat enough, and eat three meals a day, better than me."

Wang Bo smiled bitterly: "You all listen to those good ones, at least 100 days of drills, just your bunch of things, who can endure it, this grain is not so delicious." ”

The people at the bottom wilted when they heard it, isn't it, they have been in the Ming Army all these years, and they only a few times a year. When I thought of standing for half a day on dog days and running ten miles with a sandbag of dozens of pounds, my legs suddenly became weak. (To be continued)
