prosperous age

Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Departure
"One stick of incense time to reunite their families, and then set off."

Wei Meng gave an order to the servants around him, and they would pass on the order.

Although Wei Meng is only a member of a hundred households, he also raised seven or eight servants. Although he did not train the soldiers of the hundred households according to the drill code, the training of the servants has never stopped. These people are also the most capable group in the guard people.

Wei Guangde glanced at the few servants scattered around, they only listened to the old man's words, because they used money to do things, and the other general flags and small flags in the guard were unable to control them.

As for the more than a hundred people in the previous team, let's forget it, they are all good farmers, so let's forget about fighting.

Maybe Duan Da's few archers are still barely qualified. After all, they often go out hunting and have not lost their archery skills.

As the order was issued, the team that had finally assembled became chaotic again, and many people from the outside crowd squeezed in. They didn't dare to come here before. Now that Wei Baihu reunited his family, he no longer had those scruples.

The soldiers were instructing the women at home to take good care of their parents-in-law and discipline the boys. Most of the women were crying at the moment, and they already knew what was going on.

Only those older ones whispered something in their children's ears, probably teaching some life-saving things by precept and deed.

Wei Guangde saw everything in his eyes, and guessed in his heart that maybe he was teaching his own children to run back when they saw something wrong on the battlefield, as long as they ran faster than the people around them, they could save their lives.

Wei Guangde didn't have the heart to listen to what his parents whispered at the moment, because he thought that nothing would happen, it was just a false alarm.

In my impression, in the middle period of the Ming Empire, basically only the frontier army still had the power to fight, and the others were all shrunk to the rear to guard against death.

Battlefield, what is that?
However, Wei Guangde also sighed in his heart. After he got used to it, he thought about taking advantage of the corruption and weakness of the Ming Empire to rebel. Thinking about his knowledge beyond the hundreds of years in this life, he might really succeed. Fifth respect.

But after two days of rest and going out, seeing those so-called soldiers in the military fort, Wei Guangde decisively gave up this idea.

Thinking about the rebellion, what I saw was the powerful servants at home, and the soldiers who couldn’t get enough to eat when I went out. Forget it, why worry about it?
If you want to rebel, you must first have money to raise soldiers. Thinking about it, it feels like a headache.

There are also those guys in the armory, Wei Guangde also pestered his elder brother to open the door to have a look, they are all long guns, there are a dozen knives, a few shields, the only thing that can make him look at it is the two bowl mouths It is said that the blunderbuss should have been put on the sentry boat, but they were moved back to the warehouse because they thought it would affect fishing.

As for the dozen or so firecrackers, forget it, Wei Guangde feels that they are half wood and half metal sticks, the iron stick is more than a foot long, and it is used for gunpowder and bullets, but it is troublesome to load.

Wei Guangde was a newcomer, so he was naturally a little interested. He took some gunpowder and tried a shot under the guidance of his elder brother.

The gunpowder is poured into the lid of the medicine pot, that is the amount of one shot, and then poured into the barrel and compacted with a poke bar, put in the lead bullet and then compacted, and then the pulling line.

When using it, hold a wooden stick in one hand, aim at the target with the muzzle of the gun, and use a fire clip to ignite the fuse with the other hand to launch it.

Having said so much, Wei Guangde also has a deep understanding of the firearms of the Ming army in the Ming Dynasty, which are indeed of little practical value.

As for the bowl-mouth gun, forget it, that thing is a bit loud, and his elder brother dare not let him fire a cannon.

The time for a stick of incense passed quickly, and the team regrouped surrounded by the crying crowd. This time, they set off soon. Wei Meng walked at the forefront of the team as a hundred household officials. There was no turning back.

Accompanied by the afterglow of the setting sun, Wei Guangde and Wei Wen helped his mother back home after watching the soldiers go away, standing on the gate tower of the fort until they were out of sight.

For one night, no one in the family had a good time, and the meal was tasteless.

Although Wei Guangde knew in his heart that nothing would happen, but at this time, he couldn't show that he was heartless. If he knew that his brother was good to him, he had to distinguish the occasion. If he did something out of the ordinary at this time When it comes to things, I'm afraid it's not as simple as being beaten.

After dinner, he would usually light candles and practice a few strokes at this time, but he didn't want to practice today either.

As a modern person, Wei Guangde is naturally very bad at calligraphy of this era, and his handwriting is a bit ugly, which is why he is beaten by his master today.

Because Wei Guangde accidentally fell into the water, after a few days off to go to the private school, the master tried his best to give him a meal. At that time, he saw that his handwriting had deteriorated, so he didn't say much.

But for a few days in a row, the handwriting didn't improve much, and the master finally couldn't bear it anymore today.

In fact, little Wei Guangde's handwriting, in the eyes of Wei Guangde now, is slightly better than his handwriting.

But what makes Wei Guangde happy is that his memory seems to be very good now. According to his body's memory, little Wei Guangde should have entered a private school in three years, that is, he started school at the age of eight.

In three years, he not only completed the enlightenment readings such as "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Surnames" and "Thousand Character Classic" early, but also learned "Disciple Regulations", "Book of Filial Piety", "Children's Learning Qionglin" and so on. Books, what I am studying now is Zhu Zi's "Primary School". I heard the master said that I should read the four books after finishing the study. As for what book to read first, the master didn't say that he didn't know.

But the strange thing is that after Wei Guangde, who traveled through time, fell asleep twice, the textbooks he recited before seemed to be printed in his head, maybe it was there, and it was only at this time that he connected with his own spirit and became his own. Memory that can be used at any time.

You know, from later generations, he also knows two sentences, "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good" and "Zhao Qian, Sun Li, King Zhou, Wu and Zheng". those books.

As far as the two sentences that can be said, he didn't know when he was watching TV or reading novels. He had never seen those books.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Wei Guangde bid farewell to his mother and went to the private school. At the gate, he met his elder brother who had just returned home from a tour of the castle.

The eldest brother is not alone, there are two servants behind him, this is why old man Wei stayed here on purpose to serve as servants.

"time to eat?"

Seeing Wei Guangde go out, Wei Wencai asked. Although it was a bit nonsense, it also showed his concern for this younger brother.

After saying a few words, he gave Wei Guangde a few copper coins for him to use.

The private school is in the town, more than ten miles away from the military fort. When Wei Guangde walked to the gate of the fort, he saw that his followers had gathered there and waited for him.

For a group of teenagers like them, going to a private school in the town is naturally very huggable.

When he woke up this morning, Wei Guangde did not follow his master's instructions to review his homework and memorize what he taught yesterday, because Wei Guangde's memory is good, and he actually memorized it after reading it several times.

Seeing that everyone was here, the children laughed and rushed out of the gate to the town. They must not be late, otherwise they would be slapped by their master.

But amidst the laughter, Wei Guangde was still a little worried, the book can be memorized easily, but the word is a big problem.
