LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 17: Jing'an Armored Soldiers
The Lingshen Pills given by County Magistrate Zheng are ordinary items, not special items with game prompts.
Zhou Yuan could not judge the specific effects of these Lingshen Pills, but he thought that a county magistrate would not deceive a country boy like him.
In any case, he spent the money, and spent it in front of the servants.
This not only reduces a lot of trivial matters, but also balances the gap between the rich and the poor within the small group of servants.
"Shitou, why did you spend all the money? I'm not saying anything bad about you, it's better to save it.
When you have more money, you can marry a wife, so that you can leave a descendant for your Zhou family."
"If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten about it. Didn't you just get 110 coins? Lend me some first."
"I can't lend it to you. Except for this matter, everything else is easy to say. I still have to save money for my child to marry a wife."
Fortunately, Zhou Yuan had no money in his hand, otherwise there would always be a few people who would plot against him, which would be annoying.
Now it's his turn to annoy others. After his efforts, although he didn't borrow much money, he got some benefits.
Several officers thought highly of his bravery and that they had earned two hundred coins for nothing, so every time they passed through a town, they would bring him some delicious food to satisfy his cravings.
In this way, even if the journey ahead was still hard, it was much better than when he had just left home.
When the group arrived at the military fort on the outskirts of Jing'an with great difficulty, the hundreds of officers had rarely lost much weight, and at least their mental state seemed okay.
"Fellow villagers, after sending you a thousand miles, there will always be a farewell. We will go back after completing our mission today.
You should live well in this camp and be patient. The three-year auxiliary soldier period will pass quickly, and we will come to pick you up and wait for you to return home."
"Young man, you are different from them. You will probably join the combat troops. Don't be patient if you can.
While you are young and energetic, make a name for yourself so that you can gain a long-term foothold in this camp."
Perhaps it was because they were in a foreign land, or perhaps they had developed some feelings for each other during these days of sharing the ups and downs.
Several officers suddenly felt a strong sense of kinship with their fellow villagers. They sincerely gave advice, hoping that their fellow villagers would not be lost in a foreign land.
"Don't worry, officer. We are all honest farmers. We have wives and children waiting for us at home. We will definitely not cause trouble."
The villagers actively expressed their opinions and told their duties, but Zhou Yuan clenched the broken iron gun in his hand, looked at the direction of the military camp and nodded.
A group of people without ambitions can endure, but a person with ambitions must be ruthless.
Since ancient times, the two paths of civil and military affairs have been the upward channels in human society. Since civil affairs don't work, we can only establish ourselves with military affairs.
"Go, fellow villagers, let us send you off for the last time."
The spacious military fortress was like a small city, but there were no civilians inside, only combat soldiers and auxiliary soldiers.
Under the leadership of the officers, the conscripts lined up in front of the military fortress, waiting for Jing'an to join the army.
After walking around in the crowd, the sturdy soldier frowned and looked unhappy, as if he was not satisfied with the quality of the conscripts this time.
The two leading officers hurried forward to explain in a low voice, and occasionally pointed in Zhou Yuan's direction.
"If what you said is true, I will accept these people."
"How dare we, the villains, deceive the general? The general will know once he checks."
Surrounded by a dozen personal soldiers, the military officer Jing'an came to Zhou Yuan under the guidance of the officers.
"I heard that you are a brave man who dares to stab a bear and risk his life. Bring me the document certified by the county."
"Yes."
The officers had previously reminded that the army should use "Yes" to receive orders. If the general asks questions, they should receive the order first and then act.
The military officer Jing'an took the document from Zhou Yuan, glanced at the official seal of Leji County, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Do you dare to enter the Wuwei camp and join the regular army?"
"I will obey your orders."
"Okay, you are indeed a good young man. You have a clean background, are young and strong, and are brave and courageous. I will recommend you to the Jia camp to learn to use bows, swords and guns.
The Jia soldiers only train and fight, and do not do miscellaneous things. They are under the command of two assistant soldiers, who hold armor and weapons and take care of their lives.
Choose two reliable people from your hometown. The assistants are more important than the assistants. They will be provided with food, clothing, money and grain, and can benefit friends and relatives."
"More Thank you for your support. "
"Wrong, the soldiers in the camp all have their own affiliations, and there is no distinction between big and small. I am in charge of selecting soldiers and training them, and I am the selected vanguard soldier.
I am from the Qingxi Ma family, you can also call me Ma Canjun, remember that the army is serious and you cannot call military positions randomly."
"Zhou Yuan understands, thank you for the teachings of Ma Canjun."
After getting a brave warrior, Ma Canjun was in a good mood. He took out the seal of the selected vanguard soldier from his personal soldiers and stamped the military service documents of the messengers.
"I will take these soldiers, go back and report as soon as possible."
Several messengers bowed and saluted repeatedly, and turned around and left after watching the soldiers enter the city.
The management of the Jing'an Army is very strict. As soon as Zhou Yuan entered the city, he was led to the east of the city by the soldiers, and the soldiers were divided into two teams and led to the north of the city.
He chose two fellow villagers, Li Dazhuang and Zhao Tieniu, as assistant soldiers.
The reason why Uncle Huang was not chosen was that he was too old and it was difficult for him to complete the work of holding armor and weapons.
"Good man, this is the Wuwei Camp of our Jing'an Army. We have three days of training and one day of rest. You can change into your regular clothes and go to Jing'an City to play in your spare time.
But you are a new soldier, the coaches are watching you closely, so it's best not to go out if you have nothing to do."
The leading soldier said a few words and walked towards the armored soldiers of the Wuwei Camp. After the two completed the handover, Zhou Yuan officially entered the city's inner city.
As soon as he entered the inner city, Zhou Yuan felt a word, rich.
There was a team of soldiers in the camp who were undergoing armor training. They were all wearing fine iron armor and holding weapons and moving forward steadily.
Some of the soldiers standing around were holding water bags and towels, while others were holding weapons. When the armored soldiers stopped, they lined up to enter the field, replenish water and wipe sweat for the armored soldiers, and replace weapons.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but wonder.
Is this treatment, this configuration, this training level what a county barracks should be like? The martial virtue of the Wei Dynasty is a bit too abundant.
"It's incredible, isn't it? If you can stay, you will get used to it slowly.
Don't look at it, come with me to the dormitory. When dinner is served, go to the West Hall to eat by yourself, and your assistant soldiers will go to the East Hall to eat.
Arm soldiers wear red clothes, and assistant soldiers wear black clothes. They cannot be mixed up or replaced, otherwise it will be unforgivable under military law."
"Why do they eat separately? They are all in the same camp, but they eat in different places. Won't it breed complaints?"
"What complaints? If you want to eat well, you can also become an armored soldier. Our camp does not prohibit assistant soldiers from becoming armored soldiers.
Arm soldiers have hard training. Without meat and medicinal herbs to replenish their bodies, they will urinate blood. If they suffer from all kinds of injuries, how can they go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?
You are not old, and it is time to take care of your body. You must eat more and exercise more, so as not to be sent back again."
After arriving at the dormitory, Zhou Yuan found that the treatment of armored soldiers was really good.
There are four large beds in the spacious room, four bunk beds, wooden cabinets, armor wooden frames, desks, and chairs.
"Put your luggage away quickly and report to the quartermaster's office with me.
You will not be given armor at first, but you can get a bow and arrow, a steel knife, and a spear."
"Brother, I have something to ask you. Is our Jing'an Army rich?"
"Hmm? How can you say that? Children of wealthy families look down on others, while children of good families look noble."
