The devil is coming

Chapter 947 Slash!
Compared with the eldest brother Tan Dayong, who can wear armor and ride a horse to gather in the military camp for preparation, the younger brothers Tan Eryong and Tan Xiaoyong are not so happy.
In fact, Father Qin is really a "reputable" figure in Jin'an Fort. Even he himself lamented that he has really become a different person in these years;
But the only achievement of this old farmer, who was born as a field slave, is probably in farming. As for the rest, he really has too many limitations.
As one of the "Four Officials" of Jin'an Fort, even though he has no administrative power as a technical bureaucrat, he still has some respect.
For example, under the craze of everyone eager to become a standard household, Dad Qin, who was already a standard household, actually only followed the minimum standards of a standard household and asked his eldest son to serve as a standard household soldier. Instead, he treated his second son and younger son completely No more arrangements.
Is it because he is self-denial?
It's really not.
After all, it is too common for father-son brothers to be soldiers among bidders. His father Tan can not only receive the quota of food rations and welfare for bidders, but he can also receive salary for his work as a farm official, plus the acres of land allocated and contracted by his family. output;
With three extremely stable incomes, it is completely affordable to equip the second and younger sons with armor, knives, and horses.
If we invite Colonel Zhang from Jin'an Fort to have a drink, our two younger sons will be able to catch up quickly and strive for a spot in every gathering. When the war actually starts, they can compete with them. The elder brother also has the same qualifications to join the army;
Can be biased,
Father Tan didn't expect this at all, he just didn't have the brains.
The father of another family's Biaohu family taught his son equestrian martial arts when he was underage, so that he could get used to riding and shooting early. As soon as he came of age, he immediately took his son to register in the Biaohu army;
Most of them are veterans, and they are also the first batch of people to try it out. They are well aware of the benefits of bidding for households.
But once the Biaohu system is divided, the descendants below will be gone. The review and approval will be very strict, and it will only be passed down to the heir who became the Biaohu soldier and went to the battlefield. In other words, the other sons will have to No benefits.
On the battlefield that year, Zheng Fan asked the sword master to work for him and made a promise that Jindong would not charge a poll tax in the future.
Although this was just an excuse, even the Sword Master knew that the man named Zheng originally planned to abolish this tax, so the Sword Master never took credit for it.
In the eyes of the blind man and Siniang, the poll tax is a very bad tax. In essence, it is fishing in the lake;
Not only will it cause a large number of people to hide, but it will also directly lead to the formation of the custom of "baby drowning".
The head tax is gone, but the household registration tax is still there, because most people in eastern Shanxi have their household registrations tied to their land.
Therefore, according to the laws of the royal palace, if there is an only child in the family, there is no need to divide the family;
If there are other men in the family, if they reach a certain age and are not disabled, they must separate the family and open a separate account, reclaim new land, and inherit the tax responsibilities.
Therefore, the veterans of standard households eagerly hope that their special treatment can continue and spread.
Those families who are not eligible households are always jealous of the treatment of the eligible households in the camp throughout the year, and they are almost jealous. As soon as there is an opportunity, they will let their boys get married as soon as they can.
Only Dad Qin,
I was so confused that I missed the best opportunity.
This caused Tan Eryong and Tan Xiaoyong to rush southeast continuously, working extremely hard.
Auxiliary soldiers and civilians move wherever they are needed. They are the largest group on the battlefield, but they are also the group that seems to have the lowest sense of existence.
After resting for a day, we started setting up camp.
It was from Shi Chang's mouth that they learned that their two brothers were following the team and were almost at Zhennang Pass.
When the two brothers were young, they stayed at Xueguan. Later, after arriving at Jin'an Fort, the eldest brother would go out when gatherings, and the father would go to Fengxin City for meetings from time to time. As for the two brothers, they basically never left the boundaries of Jin'an Fort.
Zhennanguan...
Unfortunately, the two brothers did not have the opportunity to walk south again to see the beauty of the majestic pass, and they were immediately covered by heavy labor.
auxiliary soldiers auxiliary soldiers means those who assist;
When the main army needs soldiers and horses to supplement and cooperate, the auxiliary soldiers go;
When civilians need labor to supplement and cooperate, they still go to assist the soldiers;
Fortunately, although Father Qin was confused about planning his son's future, after all, his family had a comfortable life, and his two younger sons were well-fed and relatively strong. After the initial hard work, they quickly adapted to it.
The stockade has been erected, but it is actually a bit rough.
The corps commander said that the serious military strongholds were much more rigorous and solid than this, but the regular soldiers usually did this by themselves, and the auxiliary soldiers could only do the work.
this day,
The team of the Qin brothers was dispatched to a fort. From a distance, this fort looked no different from Jin'an Fort, but when they got closer, they discovered that there was actually a castle here.
Inside the city, the granaries towered high.
The two brothers, who were both farmers, were confused.
Tan Xiaoyong even exclaimed:
"Oh my god, how much food must be stored here."
The Qin family is now considered a farmer, and there is a small barn at home, which contains the joy of the harvest and the confidence for the future.
But the happiness of small farmers and small households,
When facing this one, no, this one is huge and majestic, one can only be shocked to the point of falling to the ground.
The two brothers had memories of starving as children, and they had a deep respect for food, but this kind of awe was too great to describe.
At this moment, teams are constantly transporting food inside, and at the same time, people are constantly transporting food out from here.
The original logistics location of Zhennanguan was located here, and even the logistics transfer for the first phase of the entire subsequent campaign was located here.
"What are you doing standing around? Come on, don't fall behind!"
"Yes."
The Tan brothers were called and followed Shangguan in.
Inside, there are a large number of human carts and many animal-drawn carts.
Brothers Tan Eryong and Tan Xiaoyong, Eryong put the rope around his shoulders in front and started pulling, while Xiaoyong helped maintain balance and push together from behind.
The team, loaded with food, returned to the empty camp they had set up earlier.
Transporting food is a real physical job. After transporting it in, the Shangguan asked everyone to rest.
The Qin brothers returned to their tent, and military doctors began to distribute herbal juice and gauze.
The army is divided into different levels. Soldiers can get the best medicine for sores, while civilians and auxiliary soldiers can only use the next-level herbal juice. Today, there are many people who are inexperienced in transporting food, and there are blood marks on their palms and shoulders. , must be processed.
Xiaoyong helped his second brother apply herbal medicine.
Under the stimulation of the herbal juice, Er Yong gritted his teeth and sucked in cold air from time to time, but he still kept praising;
"Mom, there is so much food, our family will not be able to eat it all in ten lifetimes."
"Hehe." Xiaoyong laughed along with him, "Second brother, with so much food, how many soldiers and horses can this supply?"
"You have to ask eldest brother about this, I can't estimate it." Er Yong is very self-aware, "But if eldest brother knows that there is so much food here, they will be fighting at the front, and they will feel very at ease."
Xiaoyong echoed: "Yes, just like what dad said, if you have food, you don't have to panic if anything happens."
……
After a night's rest, the camp started to get busy early the next morning. The main tasks were making rice and steaming steamed buns.
There are no dedicated gang leader soldiers here, but in the auxiliary barracks and the civilian camp, there are really very few people who can't cook. The most important thing is...it doesn't need to be so delicious and exquisite.
Kneading the dough, boiling the water, putting the steamer on the steamer, all the work was in full swing.
During this period, it is natural to eat some on your own, especially the "stuffed" steamed buns created by Wang Ye, which are the most popular.
However, even the superior officials turned a blind eye to this kind of "stealing". Now you can eat as much as you want, as long as you don't hide it.
After all, generally speaking, according to the military customs in eastern Shanxi, when the team gathers, they have to eat a big meal;
The next time you can have a big meal is during a bloody battle.
In the afternoon,
Soldiers and horses came from the north, and the food here was also ready.
"Hey, is it a savage?"
Tan Xiaoyong had sharp eyes and shouted first.
"This should be what eldest brother said, the savage servants that the prince recruited from the snowy fields." Tan Eryong said.
There are also savages in eastern Jin Dynasty. There are actually various military forts. The largest gathering point of savages is in Fan City.
Among the savages, there are also standard households, but most of them are ordinary households;
Generally speaking, savages are the lowest among the big guys, and it is common for them to be bullied and ostracized.
The higher-ups in the palace were well aware of this, but they did not deliberately ask the officials below to care more about and protect the savages. They only asked for equality according to the law;
And the savage households also understand their status, and they are also very sensible in ranking at the end when offering sacrifices or going to the market. After the integration in the past few years, they can't see each other when they look up, but there has never been any group behavior like at the beginning. vicious incidents against savages;
In addition, since everyone is a "fellow countryman", they look up and don't look down, so they don't bother to continue to be embarrassed.
The social dramas in the fort will often perform some plays about savages. In the plays, the misery and helplessness of ordinary people faced by savages in the face of natural disasters and exploitation by the savage leaders and nobles are shown, striving to win the sympathy of other people;
After all, before the prince came to Jindong to create this "paradise", most of the people here lived the same miserable life of displacement;
In the play, it is the prince who appears and rescues these savage people who live a lonely and enslaved life, and gives them food and fields, which is very appropriate and consistent.
This is not an over-emphasis or modification. After all, the barbarian army that entered the customs, burned, killed and looted was basically wiped out after the prince blocked the retreat route of the snow customs;
Most of the remaining prisoners were spent on the repair project of the Snow Customs, and they were piled with corpses.
Some of the barbarians in Eastern Jin Dynasty were kidnapped, and some migrated here on their own. In short, they were all absorbed by Eastern Jin Dynasty to replenish the working population.
But the savages who appeared at this time were riding horses and carrying bows and arrows. Although they rarely had armor, and their knives and bows and arrows looked a bit broken, the aura of the primitive savages was still too strong, which made people feel a little uncomfortable. Sense of adaptation.
At least, that's how Tan Eryong and Tan Xiaoyong feel.
After all, the children of the barbarian households in their fortress also go to the co-educational school, and none of them have barbarian hairstyles, and their clothes are all made from Yan or called Xia Feng.
A captain from the Yan Army in the camp came forward to negotiate. Soon after, the savage servants and soldiers began to enter the camp. They were like a pack of hungry wolves, coming over after smelling the scent.
Each person has a bowl of broth and two large steamed buns with fillings, which is definitely not enough to eat. The rest is topped with naan, and the white flour is fine, so it is impossible to open the supply.
"Come on, steamed buns, don't worry, line up, line up."
"Two of you, two of you."
Tan Eryong and Tan Xiaoyong were placed in the position of distributing steamed buns.
When the steamed buns in the steamer in front of them were finished, the brothers brought them up from behind.
"Damn, I'm starving."
"Yes, young master."
Tan Eryong was a little surprised. What he heard from the steamed buns distributed earlier were the "birdsong" of these savages. It was rare to encounter people who spoke Xiayu so fluently.
This savage is still wearing armor, and it is the standard armor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Some of the savages around him are also wearing armor. This equipment can be said to be extremely luxurious among the savage servants.
"Here, two of yours." Tan Xiaoyong handed over the two steamed buns.
"How can two be enough to eat?"
The armored savage threw the two steamed buns back onto the steamer, then stretched out his hand to pick up the entire steamer, and said to his friend:
"Let's go and eat slowly. Let me tell you, the stuffed buns from Jindi are the only ones that are really delicious. I like to send people to buy them from Xue Customs."
Tan Eryong and Tan Xiaoyong hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
Tan Xiaoyong shouted;
"One person can only take two. If you take too much, you take too much."
The armored savage laughed when he heard this and said:
"Hey, the prince is a generous man. It doesn't matter if I eat a few more steamed buns from the prince. Get out of the way. Grandpa, I'm hungry and I don't have time to talk to you."
"The superior officer ordered, two steamed buns per person!"
"Fuck you, who do you think you are and how dare you give me orders? Do you know who I am?"
A close confidant next to him hurriedly introduced:
"Open your eyes and take a good look. This is the young master of our Hailan tribe!"
Tan Eryong immediately said: "No one can do it. This is military law and must be obeyed."
"I'm hungry, what nonsense are you talking to here!"
The armored savage kicked Tan Eryong to the ground.
Seeing his second brother being beaten, Tan Xiaoyong immediately pounced on him:
"How dare you hit someone, how dare you hit someone!"
Several cronies around the armored savage lifted Tan Xiaoyong up, faced him down, and threw him out with a "pop".
The movement here suddenly disturbed many people nearby.
Hyland snorted disdainfully and walked out with the steamer in his arms.
He has this confidence,
His father was the first savage tribe to seek refuge with the prince, and was deeply trusted by the prince;
His two brothers have both served as soldiers for the prince. The eldest brother has now returned to the tribe, and the second brother is working as an errand in Fengxin City;
The savage slave soldiers outside the pass are usually integrated by the Hailan tribe, and then restrained to enter the pass to obey the prince's military orders. His father was ill a while ago, and the eldest brother had to take care of the clan's affairs, so he was responsible for leading the vanguard. A group of servants came in.
Anyway, what happened to Helander eating a few steamed buns?Is this a big deal?
"Bah, an eye-opener,"
……
"I thought you would miss it, but after all, the prince loves you."
"Brother, look at what you said. Doesn't my father love you? If my father didn't love you, if you were doing such mischief on the other side of the Weihe River, if it were anyone else, you would have been punished."
"Hahaha, to tell you the truth, brother, I am just convinced that our prince is not willing to give me a stick, so I dare to indulge myself like this, haha."
Chen Xianba is wearing golden armor. This set of armor was given to him by the late emperor when the prince made him a marquis. Now it was given to Chen Xianba by the prince.
And who is the young man in silver armor next to Chen Xianba if not Tiantian?
"By the way, brother, when will Wang Jia arrive?"
"It will take some time. My father has to settle some affairs in Fengxin City before he can go on the expedition with confidence. That's why he sent me to set up the camp first."
"Okay, when the prince arrives, you go and talk to him and ask him to transfer you to my army as my deputy general. My brother promises to lead you to kill happily."
"Father has his own arrangements."
"Your Majesty loves you. If you go and beg me, there is no reason not to agree. Just say that you haven't seen me for a long time and you want to spend more time with me."
Tiantian shook his head and said: "Brother, I think if I take the initiative to ask my father about this matter, he will most likely let his father transfer you back to the commander's account as a private soldier, so that you can always stay with me. Brother, you Are you willing?"
"This……"
The two walked while talking;
At this time, the noise in front attracted their attention.
"What's going on?" Chen Xianba asked with a frown.
Noisy fighting is most taboo in the military, because sometimes an accident or a small misunderstanding may cause a mutiny.
At this time, a soldier came forward and reported the whole story.
……
The current situation is that because the Tan brothers were beaten, the auxiliary soldiers were not being distributed food. They gathered together, and there were also a group of close followers around Hailand. The two sides started pushing and shoving.
Hailand was still eating the steamed buns and didn't take it seriously.
at this time,
A young man in silver armor rushed straight into the crowd, jumped forward, and directly knocked away the two cronies on Hailand's side. Then he reached out, grabbed Hailand's neck, and knocked him to the ground;
"boom!"
Hyland fell to the ground and heard the sound of the person on top of him drawing a knife.
"Disobeying military discipline, refusing to change after being taught, taking the initiative to provoke, and attacking Pao Ze are punishable by death!"
Tiantian's voice had a solemn tone, and with the blessing of Qi and blood, the sound waves became higher and farther. For a moment, the originally noisy and pushing surroundings suddenly became frozen.
Hailand's cronies originally planned to snatch their young master back, but suddenly found that there were many regular soldiers of the Yan Army around them, and they did not dare to move for a moment.
When Helander, who was pressed to the ground, heard that this man actually wanted to "kill" him, he
In an instant, the previous calmness was gone.
shouted immediately;
"You can't kill me, my father is the leader of the Hailan tribe, and I am the son of the leader of the Hailan tribe!!!"
"puff!"
Knife,
Without making the slightest pause,
Wiped across Hylander's neck,
And because his hair was pulled, his head was raised, and after the blade was scratched, blood spurted forward from the wound, splashing all over Lao Gao;
Hyland's eyes were full of horror and disbelief.
He really didn't expect that one day he would lose his life because of eating a few more steamed buns...
"I,
He is the son of the regent. "
