(Thank you for the support of half a knife zsz and treading waves 54, thank you!) ）

On the drying field of Baima Township, Yi County, the township soldiers of Shili and Eight Villages had just finished a day's training and were dispersed. Right now, in June, it was supposed to be a busy time for farming. However, this year, there are no crops to harvest in Baima Township. Yizhou has fought several big battles back and forth this year, Shatuo soldiers, Chengde soldiers, Yiwu soldiers, and Qin troops, like a blind donkey, you come and I will catch up. It was only after the end of the day that the Qin army finally won and brought Yizhou under the control of the Qin domain, and the matter stopped a little.

However, for the people of Yizhou, although the chaotic war is over, the pain is far from healing. Many armies fought like a scuffle, not only were there ten rooms and nine empty here, and the crops were destroyed, but even the people of Yizhou were cut stubble after stubble as if they were cutting leeks. Shatuo soldiers were killed and captured, Cheng Dejun was also arrested, Li Quanzhong was also arrested, and Li Sizhao was also arrested, fortunately, the Qin army did not catch Zhuang Ding and forcibly recruited into the army, otherwise Yizhou was afraid that an adult man would not be found.

Baima Township originally had more than 20 villages, close to the county seat of Yixian, guarding the road from Yishui to Laishui County, which was very prosperous. But after the war, all the young and strong men in more than 20 villages added up to less than 100, and there were really ten households and nine empty, and the fields were barren.

Fortunately, when the Qin army came, they neither forcibly recruited strong men into the army, nor did they loot and apportion. On the contrary, the Qin army also helped them repair their houses, build wells, and bring them life-saving food. Then, many refugees from the Central Plains who fled into the Qin domain due to the war moved from all over the country, and there were many Hu people from the north who belonged to the king of Qin.

One by one, the villages are lively again, and they have regained their former popularity.

However, the missed agricultural time could not be made up, and there were officials and officials in the county and township who led everyone to hunt and fish. Felling trees, building houses, building roads, digging ditches, and building reservoirs. It's also busy. But there was no one to disagree. Working for the county and township, in fact, is mostly his own family's business. For example, building houses and roads, digging ditches, building schools and building village walls, these are all good things. And to work, a strong laborer takes care of two meals a day, not to mention, and pays a pound of rice and 20 yuan, where can such a good thing be found? It's women who do the work. I can also get half a catty of rice and fifteen yuan a day, plus two meals.

However, he didn't go with him to earn this money and food, and he went to the county to sign up for the township soldier's exam.

As soon as I heard the name of the chicken, I knew that the road was not a Han person, his ancestors were originally Hu people in the Western Regions, and later returned to the Tang Dynasty with the Shatuo Zhu evil clan, and had been following the Shatuo Zhu evil clan, and when he arrived at the Ji, his father died in battle with Li Guochang when he fought for the Tang Dynasty, and his mother also died early, and he followed Li Keyong to the battlefield at the age of twelve. Although he is only twenty-five years old now, he has been carrying a gun for thirteen years. A veteran who has eaten a severed head for thirteen years. He and Li Keyong fought the Pangxun Rebellion in Xuzhou in the south, and followed Li Guochang to quell the Dangxiang Rebellion in Hequ. With Li Keyong's Yunzhou rebellion against the Tang Dynasty, he fought the Battle of Daibei, and when he fled to Mobei, he also fought the Tatars, and after returning to Daibei, he fought with Liu, Li Kexiu, Li Kerou, Li Siyuan, Li Sizhao, etc.

However, after thirteen years as a soldier, he was still just a soldier, and before Zhigu Pass surrendered to Qin with the Liu family, he was only a team leader, a slightly stronger soldier leader. After Liu surrendered to Qin, he was dismissed from the army as a disability because he lost two fingers on his left hand, and was placed in Baima Township, Yi County, and was also given 20 severance settling-in allowances, 20 acres of Yongye mulberry fields that were never returned, and 80 acres of open fields for planting grains. The government also gave him five acres of housing land and helped him build his own house with a yard.

There is land and land, and there is a severance pay of twenty times, and he is young and strong, just twenty-five years old, this condition is quite popular in Yizhou, where men are extremely scarce, and soon countless matchmakers came to matchmaking, and many nearby people were willing to give their daughters to him as wives. The war that has just ended has left countless families in the vicinity without husbands and sons, and if they can find a young and strong son-in-law, they can also help hold up half the sky. At this time, everyone didn't even care about the name of the chicken, and as soon as they heard the name, they knew that the Dao was the identity of the down-and-out Hu people.

The other party is a family of deserters from Yunzhou, although they are Han, but they have lived in the border areas for generations. And he secretly went to Lao Shi's house in Xiling Township to see the woman, who was long and sturdy, with round milk and big buttocks, and I heard that she could ride a horse, not only could she ride a horse, but also farmed and herded sheep in everything. The chicken is very satisfied with this woman, who can have a common language, and will definitely be able to give him a bunch of fat boys.

The homes of the common people, everyone moved together due to the war, so there was no too much cumbersome etiquette. He took out 10,000 yuan from the settling-in fee, bought a big strong cow, and then bought six sheep cakes as a gift to Lao Shi's house, and then invited a four-wheeled carriage to take Miss Shi back, and invited a few tables of banquets for the villagers to eat, and they were considered married.

On the day of the cave house, after working hard, he hugged his daughter-in-law's soft body and said with a smile: "I have already thought about it, and when our son is born, I will let him have your surname." The surname is Shi, and I asked the township chief who witnessed the marriage today for a name, called Jingtang. Our son will be called Shi Jingtang in the future. This name is good, and it is atmospheric when you hear it, unlike him Lao Tzu, who is called Zhen Ji Ji, which is vulgar and earthy. ”

Early the next morning, Shi Jingtang and his father went to the township to report to the township soldiers, because he heard his daughter-in-law say that when he became a township soldier, he did not have to hand over the land of the villagers' family, and his son could also go to the primary school for the children of the township soldiers, where the teachers were much better than the gentlemen of ordinary township primary schools.

I was determined to give my wife and children a piece of the world, so I immediately signed up for the township army.

Originally, the village didn't plan to make chickens, because he was missing two fingers on his left hand, even if he was missing two little fingers, it was still considered disabled. However, after the chicken performed some riding and archery on the spot, as well as his splashing wind scimitar technique, the township magistrate, the county lieutenant and several officers who were assessed by the county immediately hired him in amazement.

Zhen Ji entered the township soldiers of Baima Township as he wished, and because of the actual combat experience he had learned from the pile of dead people for thirteen years, he was appointed as the head of the township soldiers of Baima Township. Although there are only 100 township soldiers in Baima Township, and the head of a hundred people does not even have a formal grade, at least not only is the family land fully exempted, but also an additional 100 acres of free open land, and at the same time, he also has a monthly allowance of five yuan for the head of the sect.

On the training ground, the chicken announced its disbandment, and then left a few poorly trained township soldiers behind as usual, and scolded them with a stinking head and face, accompanied by the whipping of the horsewhip. Although there are regulations in the township soldiers' regulations that prohibit commanders from beating and scolding non-commissioned soldiers, they can be used as instructors, and what is advocated is that if they do not practice well, they will be beaten. In his opinion, the leather whip is the best tool to enhance the comprehension of those stupid villagers.

"Birds! My sons and daughters-in-law are better ridden than you. What are you afraid of? The horse is not a tiger, these are all good horses that have been tamed in the military horse farm, but you are still cowering, if you let you ride the raw horse and wild horse directly, don't you want the horse to be kicked to death? The cavalry was kicked to death by his own war horse, if this is spread out, you are not afraid of being embarrassed, Lao Tzu has no face to see people. Dogs, you are only worthy to ride donkeys, not even tall mules, you are not worthy to ride, fuck! ”

The saliva of the chicken splashed, spraying the faces of the few villagers who had just performed poorly.

Since Baima Township has the word horse in its name, their township soldiers are naturally different. The township officials thought of adding a cavalry squad because they saw that they had excellent riding skills. After all, Baima Township, Yi County, Hebei Province, turned out to be a place where the people were fierce and the cavalry was produced. It took a lot of effort in the township to get twenty-five war horses and form a cavalry team of ten people in the capital. Who knew that among the 100 people, the ten strongest township soldiers selected from the left and right, but only half of them performed well, and the rest didn't even know how to ride horses at all.

This is also all because of the previous wars, which took away all the local young and strong men, which led to this embarrassing result. After the last, the heavy responsibility of training this cavalry squad naturally fell on the chicken. After scolding a few clumsy cavalrymen, he gave them the order to train for an hour before he swaggered away.

The chicken led his horse away, stroking his partner's mane from time to time along the way. This is not his original horse, after more than ten years of fighting, he doesn't know how many mounts he has changed. The mount he had when he surrendered to Qin stayed in Yanjing when he was dismissed. This mount is the best batch of the batch bought back from the horse farm in Zhuozhou in the township, the war horse of Liaodong, not tall, but strong in endurance. Although teaching the bulky guys made him a little bored, the monthly increase in the allowance of the second run, and the fact that he could be divided into two horses, still kept him going.

After settling down in Yi County, although the house was built with the help of the official, the furniture in the house still cost him tens of thousands of dollars, and his daughter-in-law also spent the remaining 10,000 yuan. In the past, he was full of food alone, and the whole family was not hungry, so he didn't save any belongings at all over the years, and even if there was a little, they were all thrown away in Yanmen. What he carried on him was only a few pieces of gold, which he exchanged when he was in Yanjing, but it was only fifty yuan. Now that he has a family, a land and a wife, the family has to rely on him, and the father-in-law's family also has to take care of him, and after his son Shi Jingtang is born, he will study and marry a wife, and it will cost more money.

He is now working as a coach in the township, and the monthly allowance of five times plus the additional second allowance of the riding instructor adds up to seven times, which is a lot of money. Thinking that he was the leader of the Shatuo army, he was only paid two times a month, and basically they didn't live on that salary, but on the plundering during the war. It's still the Qin army's good treatment, and even the head of the township soldier has so much salary. If a soldier goes to the battlefield to fight, there are more rewards for meritorious service, not only money and food, but also knighthood. But thinking about his mutilated left hand and his newly married wife, the slightest thought in his heart of joining the Qin army again couldn't help but disappear without a trace.
