I want to be emperor

Chapter 13 An Yongming

An Yongduo, this is the name he took after he joined the army.

His hometown is in the Xi'an area, and his family does not have even an acre of land or a sheep. They rely on renting the land of the landlord's family and helping the landlord to graze and raise horses to make ends meet.

Ernst and Young has been hungry since he can remember, until he was 16 years old when he heard that an official was recruiting soldiers in the county: he must be young and strong, and he must be able to ride a horse.

Once selected, not only will they be given food for the family, but they will also be paid monthly in the future.

He also said that this is recruiting soldiers and does not need to be included in the military households. After serving as a soldier for a few years, he can be dismissed and returned to the field.

After An Yongduo heard the news, he ran to apply without any hesitation. Not only him, but several other young men who could ride horses from his hometown also ran to apply.

After all, I can't survive.

Of course, they also kept an eye out and inquired carefully whether it was really not necessary to be included in the military household.

This is very important, even more important than food and wages.

Ernst Young and the others don't want to become military households inexplicably after they ran to apply for military service.

That is absolutely impossible.

The military households these days are very miserable. Even a family like An Yongduo does not have an acre of land, and they all rely on renting the land of the landlord's family in the village, and the lowest-ranking farmers who help the landlord to graze and raise horses are all looked down upon. Military households.

After all, military households have to serve as serfs to those officials and lords for a lifetime, and their children and grandchildren have to be serfs.

Not to mention being a serf, and if there is a war, you have to bring your own food and use it as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

The most important thing is that even if you work hard as a serf, you still can't get enough to eat.

Now in their hometown, even the poorest families are unwilling to marry their daughters to local military households.

This military household is absolutely unacceptable.

After careful inquiry with several fellow villagers, An Yongduo confirmed that this was a real recruiting, rather than recruiting people to serve as military households in the name of recruiting, so he went to apply for the army with confidence.

When applying for the recruitment, relying on the equestrian skills he had learned to graze and raise horses for the landlord when he was a child, he was finally selected and became a cavalry soldier in the Yulin Frontier Army.

Later, he went to the grasslands to fight Tatars with his superiors, but more often he followed those officials and lords to suppress thieves.

Especially after the current emperor ascended the throne, thieves emerged in an endless stream in the Shaanxi-Gansu area, and these officers and soldiers were also forced to suppress thieves every day.

Not to mention how good this kind of life was, but it was finally able to live on. In the early years when the food and wages were sufficient, he even saved money to send back home.

But three or four years ago, his cavalry unit began to be transferred to the hinterland of Shaanxi to fight, and it became difficult to provide food and salaries after staying away from the station.

And since last year, they have followed that old master Hong Chengtao to fight in the north and south to encircle and suppress Gao Yingxiang and other thieves.

It's okay to fight hard and dangerous in the South and North Wars. The problem is that the food and wages are getting more and more insufficient. By this year, they don't even have food...

It was precisely because of the lack of food that they robbed a gentry's granary in order to fill their stomachs. As a result, they caused a lot of trouble, and the superiors wanted to investigate and kill people.

So, under the leadership of Li Tonglin, nearly [-] people who participated in this time directly mutinied and became rebels...

An Yongduo was also among them, and he didn't say that he wanted to be a traitor, but he changed from an officer into a bandit inexplicably.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, it's just serving food as a soldier, and there is no big difference between serving as a soldier for the imperial court and serving as a soldier for Li Tonglin.

To be honest, Ernst and Young really liked life in the past few months, although he was chased by the officers and soldiers behind him, and he had to run away from time to time.

But I can still eat enough, and occasionally I can make a little money to spend.

The most important thing is that there is no such thing as the old officials who beat and scolded at every turn, or let them attack the thieves with superior forces.

Although Li Tonglin and his leaders are also leaders, in order to win people's hearts, these people usually pretend that everyone is brothers, sharing joys and sorrows together, eating sweets and drinking spicy food together, so they treat the cavalry who followed the mutiny together very well. .

Therefore, these cavalrymen lost several mountains above their heads, at least no one beat and scolded them at every turn, forcing them to die as cannon fodder.

Two months ago, Fei Bingcai chose his own soldiers. With his excellent riding and shooting ability, Fei Bingcai chose him as Fei Bingcai's personal soldiers.

Whether Fei Bingcai is good to outsiders, whether he is ambitious or not is another matter, but the dozen or so soldiers under his opponent are still quite good, at least he has not treated them badly in terms of treatment.

This is also the reason why Fei Bingcai chose to continue to follow Fei Bingcai when Fei Bingcai gathered his troops to confront each other, and then took An Yongduo and the others to break up and leave.

Ernst & Young and they can't control so much about other things, and they can't figure out what is right and what is wrong, but he knows that if he follows Fei Bingcai, Fei Bingcai will not treat them badly.

Originally, he thought he would follow Fei Bingcai into the ravine, then run outside and continue to live the same life as before.

But I didn't expect that just after Sun Li and the others broke up, Dao Scar couldn't wait to violently kill Fei Bingcai...

It doesn't matter if Fei Bingcai is dead. Ernst & Young doesn't have much loyalty to Fei Bingcai anyway. After all, they are just a pure subordinate relationship. Bingcai is dead, and An Yongduo will not fight Scar for a dead person.

At that moment, he even thought about it, since Fei Bingcai was dead, it would be fine to throw him over to Scar.

Days, still have to live.

But the thought lasted only a few seconds before disappearing.

Because Fei Bingcai's nephew chopped Scar to death again...

Well, it's all right now, I can't even switch to Scar.

What's next?
Mess around with a few other headless flies?Or just run away by yourself and go as a refugee alone?

This will not work.

It's so chaotic outside these days, and food is hard to find, it's easy to starve to death with only a few of them fooling around outside...

It's easier to starve to death by yourself.

At that time, some people said that they would go back and join Sun Chengli again, and he followed the trend and came back with others.

An Yongduo felt that anyway, he was messing around with Fei Bing, and he was messing around with Scar.

Similarly, hanging out with Sun Chengli is just eating a living.

He didn't pay too much attention, so he happily followed other people to find Sun Chengli. After returning, more than a dozen of them were placed on the sidelines. It is estimated that Sun Chengli and the others had to discuss how to arrange themselves. .

Don't worry about killing or anything, the big guys don't have any hatred. When people like me come back to join Sun Chengli, Sun Chengli doesn't have to kill them.

Besides, everyone is sensible, they know that Sun Chengli is short of people, and Sun Chengli knows that he is short of people.

Not to mention that there are more than a dozen of them, but they are also people who can ride and shoot well, and can charge horses with spears and sabers when necessary.

Sun Chengli had no reason not to.

So everyone waited in peace.

It didn't take long to wait, and there was news.

A good friend of Er Yongduo came back, sat beside Er Yongduo, grabbed the water bottle and took a sip of water, and then said to Er Yongduo: "I asked Blind Wang about it, and our group of people turned around to say goodbye to each other. Make it up to the three armies of the left and right, and then transfer people from the three armies of the left and right to the army of General Sun."

An Yongduo said: "Blind Wang? Is that the one-eyed dragon under the command of General Sun?"

"That's right, it's him. He's the sentinel of the general's personal army now. Damn it, I haven't seen you for a few hours. This blind man has changed from a big soldier to an official."

After Ernst and Young listened to it, he didn't continue to entangle on this topic. Now that Sun Chengli is the leader, the status of the confidants around him will naturally rise. It is normal for Wang Xiazi to be a pro-military sentry officer.

Ernst and Young are more concerned about his own fate: "You just said that the general wants us to join the left, middle and right armies?"

The companion said, "Yes, Blind Wang said it himself."

Hearing this, Ernst Young looked a little worried.

Don't think that he is just a big soldier who doesn't know anything.

In this small team, there were no secrets at all. He knew very well that Sun Jiancheng had recruited Lin Dongsheng, Wang Dazhuang, and Xu He, and specially set up the left, right, and middle armies for these three people.

And Sun Jianli's confidantes have become pro-army, which means the same as Li Tonglin's pro-military team in the past.

But, these three people are not Sun Jiancheng's old subordinates, confidantes, and the relationship between them is actually allies who reached a cooperation agreement due to reality in a short period of time.

If they go to the left, right, and middle armies in the future, what will Sun Chengli do if he wants to deal with Lin Dongsheng, Wang Dazhuang, and Xu He in the future?
Is there another breakup or even a fight?
It's not fun.

Seeing that An Yongduo frowned, the companion on the side said again: "But I still asked about it, and it was said that Army Division Luo wanted to select soldiers from among us first."

An Yongduo said: "Mr. Luo? It is Mr. Luo who was rescued under the city of Luoyang, right? I remember that he used to be in charge of food and grass. How did he become a military adviser?"

The companion said: "That's the old calendar. Today, General Sun is the leader, and even a few of his soldiers are sentinels. Mr. Luo is the confidant of General Sun. The name of a military division is quite normal."

"And you also know that Mr. Luo is a scholar, so he won't go into battle like us rough guys. Now that he meets officers and soldiers or something, he needs someone to protect him, so arrange some personal soldiers for him. It is also reasonable!"

After hearing this, An Yongduo thought for a while, and then said, "Mr. Luo only chooses four people?"

The companion said: "Well, there are only four, one more!"

The companion glanced at An Yong at this time, and then said: "Old An, you have to work harder to get selected, this Mr. Luo is not an ordinary person, don't look at him because he is young, and don't think that he can't even wield a knife." , but let me tell you, this Mr. Luo is very capable!"

"If you really want to be selected as his personal soldier, the benefits will be great!"
