When Li Yi entered the camp with a face full of shame and pleaded guilty, Li Tong looked at him and smiled, but after a while his face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly: "More than half of the dead in the camp, what should be the punishment?"

"More than half of the dead, be the commander of the banner, behead!"

When Li Yi heard this, cold sweat poured out of his forehead, but he still spoke in a shy voice.

"The battalion gives you brothers and legs. You have no brothers and legs. How can you save your life? Today is still a drill, and if you really go to the battlefield in the future, you feel that you still have your life to come back and be punished?"

The purpose of this martial arts performance is to train a group of recruits, and the punishment is naturally impossible to follow the official military order, but Li Tong is still a little disappointed that Li Wei has done this.

Because this kid is a rare talent for the clan, Li Tong also cultivated him a lot. In the past, he went to Longdu and brought him with him to increase his experience. After returning to Beijing, he grew up in Yingyuan to learn strategy.As a result, this time when he was awarded the battalion position, he showed such a big face that even Li Tong felt a little embarrassed.

On the first day of training, we marched for [-] miles and then camped for the night. We started from the west side of the forbidden ditch and camped on the top of the plateau on the east side.In order to reduce the difficulty, the camps were not even provided with equipment and luggage, and the felt tents of the camps were also sent to the forbidden ditch in advance.

Although many of these newly recruited regiments from various prefectures have lost their households, because the Taiwan flag order and organization are new and different from the previous ones, it is inevitable that they are a little at a loss, and the chaos is overall.But the other battalion owners can more or less restrain themselves. As for Li Yi's direct battalion loss, he is really the only one.

During the march of the battalions, their own internal guards followed and supervised, and the biggest problem in reporting to Li Yi was to spare the punishment.There is a certain reason why kindness does not command soldiers. After the battalion owners are divided into battalions, many battalion owners will first set up a supervisory team, and select veteran soldiers with military experience to restrain the troops. Anyone who leaves the army will be punished directly Caning.

If you are in charge of the army, you must be punished. After Li Yi took over the battalion, he also set up torturers, but he was not decisive enough to impress the crowd when he executed the punishment.

What's more terrible is that the military orders he set are too cumbersome, observing the hydrology, observing the geography, sneaking in quickly, jumping forward and back, and trying out all kinds of marching changes taught in Yingyuan, but the problem is that his battalion Among these recruits, it was difficult for them to even recognize the basic flag and cooperate with each other. As a result, when they boarded the plateau, there was only one commander in charge of recognizing the flag in the whole battalion, and it was because he recognized the flag by himself.

Seeing Li Yi bowed his head to the ground in frustration, Li Tong sighed and said, "Take off the battalion talisman, and join the army tomorrow."

When Li Yi heard this, his eyes turned red instantly, and he choked up on the ground and said: "The general knows that he has lost his order, so he dare not forgive me. But the soldiers are not with me. Please use one night to enter the camp to appease the survivors. Tomorrow morning Dianbing, if you lose a pawn, you will be punished!"

"Young spirit, it is good to strive for strength, but the soldiers are mixed in each battalion, and since they have entered the camp, they will sleep, and I will not open the door for you."

"The last general dare not seek for convenience. He half keeps the names and appearances of the soldiers in charge of the camp in mind. When he enters the camp, he will not disturb the sleeping and sleeping of the soldiers."

"If the punishment is correct, if there are still more than half of the dead in the morning, they will be beheaded!"

Seeing that Li Yi was still fighting stubbornly, Li Tong was a little displeased.

"Dian Bing is incompetent and should be punished! The general will miss the opportunity and insist on begging. If there is still no way to make up for the previous crime, he will die without regret!"

Li Yi kowtowed again and begged.

"Go and do it for yourself. Before midnight, the gates of the camps will be closed, and the camp orders will not be lenient for you alone."

Li Tong pondered for a while, and said to the host of the criminal camp: "All of you, if there are dead and scattered people waiting for punishment, they will go to the camp to pick them up. Tomorrow, the Dian soldiers will check the number, and they will not be guilty."

The battalion owners were overjoyed when they got this opportunity, and hurried out after thanking them, not daring to waste any more time.

Then, Li Tong looked at Guo Zhiyun again, and asked, "How many members are there in the First Battalion?"

"330 count."

After hearing the words, Guo Zhiyun quickly replied seriously.

"How much is your Jiawu accounted for?"

"780 counts six, my camp counts seven at 310, and the other camp counts nine at 460?"

When Guo Zhiyun spoke up to this point, his tone was implicit and self-satisfied.

"Why is it so presumptuous?"

"My battalion is the most organized, and the command language is the simplest. The soldiers follow the wind and follow the situation, and follow me."

When Guo Zhiyun talked about this, he quickly said: "The final general will collect the wandering disciples along the way, and I will lead the army in my own part. The battalion is divided into internal and external, and the title is brother. Those who are confused in the four directions can be flogged five times, and those who can't distinguish between left and right can use ten sticks. The supervising team has sixty, and I raise my hands before and after. Chasing them out of the army, intending to cut them..."

"Tomorrow the Dian soldiers will go out of the camp, and your camp will be regarded as the leader, and the army in the palm will recognize the flag."

Li Tong first put Guo Zhiyun above all the battalion leaders, and then said with a smile: "Tomorrow, we will travel thirty miles. After sleeping in the middle of the night, your camp will be attacked by drums. Go back to the camp and prepare."

This time performing martial arts is not only training soldiers, but also training generals.Although the battalions were not lacking in chaos, they did not impose corporal punishment on the punishment of the commander, but the promotion and promotion of rank.Someone like Li Yi who directly seizes the camp talisman is tantamount to withdrawing from this martial arts performance, at least this time he will not have another chance.

On the first day of the martial arts performance, Guo Zhiyun shined brilliantly, his rank was promoted to Jiashang, and he directly accepted the flag of the Chinese Army, which is naturally enviable.

In the early morning, Li Tong had just woken up. Li Yi outside the tent was already waiting outside. His eyes were red and swollen, and he went in to bow down and said, "Last night, I entered the camp to appease the deceased. 320 people were counted, and [-] dead people were counted. I am here to receive the punishment."

Seeing this kid's tired face, Li Tong couldn't bear it a little bit, and said after hearing the words: "After receiving the cane, he will return to the camp as a whole, and no steps will be given for the time being. If you stay overnight at night and still commit the same crime, you will confess your previous crimes. plead!"

"The last general takes orders!"

On a new day, the smoke from the camps rose, and as the sun shone on the top of the plateau, the sound of drums and horns sounded again, and the battalions marched out one by one, and the martial arts performance continued.Compared with the chaos of the first day, today's situation has greatly improved.

When the camps went down to the plateau in the evening and camped on the bank of the Yellow River, the layout of the camps had begun to take shape.

In this case, after two days of performing martial arts, one night, there was a sudden loud drumming at Tongguan Pass, and immediately thousands of riders rolled up to the top of the plateau like a strong wind.Master Cao Ren led his troops straight to the training camps of the regiments on the top of the plateau, and saw the campfires lit one after another, and the campers lined up next to the fence with their sticks.The raiding army was attacked several times outside the camps, but not a single escaped soldier who jumped from the camp was caught in the wild.

"Erlang went back to camp and slept, and there was still an attack before morning!"

After returning in vain, Master Cao Ren reined in his horse and roared loudly outside the camp, and then led his troops back like a tide.

Before dawn, when he came again as promised, before he got close to the camp, he noticed that the atmosphere ahead was different, and ordered the team to move slowly, but suddenly the flames burst into the sky in the peach forest on the side, and the soldiers shouted: "Come on! If you capture a horse, you can have an extra meal." sheep!"

"Haha, the younger generation is teasing me! Let's withdraw, the camps will smell bad in the morning, and there will be no meat in Guanzhong for a month!"

Master Cao Ren laughed and reined in his horse and turned around, the group of riders under his command retreated like a tide, but on the way of retreating, five hundred of them got off their horses and sprinted along the side road.When the soldiers of the camp in the peach forest rushed forward, they rushed out from the wilderness, rode away and returned, and directly captured nearly a hundred soldiers who had rushed out, and chased them all the way to the front of the camp, making a lot of noise and enjoying themselves. return.

When the group returned to the pass, it was already dawn, and when they got closer, they saw thousands of people lined up in front of the pass.

"General Cao thought there were no horses in the camp?"

Guo Zhiyun held a wooden knife and laughed loudly: "You guys, tell Guan Qian Paozhe, what are we going to do?"

"Cook sheep, cook sheep!"

The thousands of soldiers in front of the pass roared after hearing the sound, and they shouted a few foodie slogans, but they actually shouted a bit of a strong and passionate atmosphere.

"Haha, before entering my pass, how much can I shake? But a surprise attack in the night can still form an formation, so why bother with a sheep! Open and close the door, count the sheep and reward the army, and have a full meal for the day!"

Such a drill is of course not enough to boast.But as Master Cao Ren said, the formation of an army lasted only one month, and they were able to dispatch troops calmly, which is indeed worthy of reward.

Nearly a thousand fat sheep were driven up to the top of the plateau from Tongguan. On this day, the stoves in the camps were full of mutton, and the campers divided the meat with knives.

Before the martial arts performance officially ended, in addition to rewarding the soldiers, the Xingtai also specially sent hundreds of singers and performers to congratulate them.Various vulgar music such as King Yong's "Song of Killing Fan" and "Youth Walk" were sung in the camps on the plateau.

In addition, there is another new ballad "Swallow Fu", which was sung in the camps.This new ballad is not based on magnificent words, the slang tune is easy to understand, and the story told is also very down-to-earth.It is about swallows who live in a foreign land and work hard to build their nests, but the nest food is taken away by the Tuhu sparrow.However, Fenghuang, the envoy of Taiwan, goes to the village to expand his household, distinguishes right from wrong, and orders Que'er to return to the swallow's nest, and exiles Que'er who robbed the swallow's property.

Among the soldiers, justice is the most important. When this "Ode to Swallows" was sung in Zhuying, the crowd was naturally excited, and everyone praised Fengniao for his fairness.

Through this allegorical poem, the regiment campers from various states also learned about Xingtai’s new decree on household expansion. Production, compliance with laws and regulations, the government will protect their family property.

Chapter 0722 evil love is hard to keep

As the most important gateway between the two capitals, Tongguan is also one of the most important channels for the circulation of people from east to west.Although there is a reason for performing martial arts on the stage, the customs defense cannot be completely closed. Every morning and afternoon, the passages on both sides of the city will be opened for the passage of people and goods.

These two hours of every day are also the most noisy moments before the customs.In order to ensure the efficiency of traffic, the pedestrian platform adopts the traffic regulations of separating people and vehicles.Horses and chariots pass through the pass, and personnel go up the plateau. After passing the pass, they pick up the carts on the west side of the pass.

There is no one to interrogate the personnel to pass the customs, but the driver will be charged ten dollars for customs clearance.Of course, if there are any wealthy travelers passing by who are delicate and expensive, and are not willing to climb the plateau on foot, there are also carriages and horses for rent in front of the pass, and a cart costs a hundred dollars.

There are three teachings and nine streams for those who pass the customs every day, covering everything, because of this regulation, many disputes have arisen.

In the early morning, the official road began to pass, and travelers who stayed east of Guancheng began to rush forward and line up to pass the customs.Soldiers on the watchtowers on both sides of the road kept shouting repeatedly: "Pedestrians board the plateau, and horses and horses leave the pass! Hearing the lawsuit before the pass, and making noise in the road!"

Among the pedestrians queuing up to pass the customs, there is such a team, with eight cars in front and behind, and slaves on the left and right of the car are following each other, which is impressive at first glance.The generals patrolling in front of the pass also paid a lot of attention to this team, and there were seven or eight men with swords and armor guarding all the way not far away.

At the gate where people and vehicles are separated, the guards who are in charge of distributing the money came in, and they did not dare to force them. They clasped their fists and saluted and said, "Please get the owner of the car out of the car and collect the money here. After passing the customs, check and accept it."

Although there are a lot of people in this line of chariots, they are not so arrogant.Before waiting in line to pass the customs, they already knew the regulations, so after hearing the news, people in the car got out of the car one after another. Among them, a middle-aged scribe in the front car said directly to the officials in front of the pass: "There are many family members accompanying me, and I need to rent five cars before the pass. Please take care of the officials and people to take care of the goods on board.”

"Please rest assured on this point. Although the car leaves the customs, a family member can follow the car to take care of it. After delivery, if something is lost, there will be a judge before the customs clearance."

Seeing a group of people getting out of the carriage, the officials ordered the soldiers to come in and wrap the carriage frame with felt cloth, lock it with knots, synthesize wooden deeds, count the bills, and attract the rented carriages. Not too long.

When the group of people changed cars and continued to cross the border, the group in the back road encountered an obstacle. A noble slave turned the car and said angrily: "Er Qiuba, do you know who the owner of my family is? Guan actually wants to be humiliated by his slaves!"

While speaking, Hao Nu threw a famous post on the official's face, the official bent down to pick up the famous post, stepped back and waved his hand, and the armored people came forward and dragged This group of people pulled out the original team and went straight to the gate to deal with it, so as not to stop the team from moving forward.

The middle-aged man who rented the car in front of the car sighed after seeing this: "The guards in Tongguan are really fierce. Hearing that family bragging about Dao Tu, it seems that they are Zhao Shilang's family in the household department, but they don't think so." Treat each other. His Royal Highness King Yong has had mixed reputations in Shendu City in recent years, and it may have something to do with these law enforcement officers' domineering domineering!"

The middle-aged man sighed so much, but no one in the car responded, but he himself continued to talk, and continued to sigh: "There are not many people who go to and from things all day long on this road in Tongguan. Although not everyone is as big as my house, But as far as I can see in a short time before the customs, ten yuan for a car and a hundred yuan for renting a car are just for passing the customs, and the cost is more than half a cent. I'm going to lose to Xingtai with more than a thousand coins. There is a way to make money, no wonder the west is more important than the east in recent years..."

"Although Xingtai is divided into Shanxi Province, it is also responsible for the western military affairs, so that the Guandong will not be disturbed. It is not just for self-enrichment. Uncle's wild talk should be stopped in moderation. If pedestrians hear it and spread it, it will only make people The misunderstanding is even deeper!"

There was a clear sound in the car, and Shangguan Wan'er glanced at her uncle Zheng Xiuyuan, who was talking a lot, with some displeasure.For the convenience of the journey, she wore a round-neck gown, and her hair was gathered into the headband. At first glance, she looked like a handsome scholar from a wealthy family who wandered around.

After Zheng Xiuyuan heard the words, he laughed dryly, stopped continuing the topic, and changed to other things: "Ah Lang, what are we going to do after we enter Chang'an. Are you really not going to visit the mansion?"

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, her eyes were slightly sad, and she said in silence for a moment: "Since you have already entered the wild, there is no point in entangled with the previous affairs. Let's settle down in the workshop and get familiar with the customs and customs before thinking about buying a house and supporting a family. In the garden Follow me out of these people, and always give them a livelihood."

Before leaving Shangyang Palace, Shangguan Wan'er was not alone.Some court ladies, eunuchs and the like had nowhere to go after leaving the palace, and had no way to make a living, so she simply gathered around her and came to Xijing together.

"Well, living in the deep is good in every way, and being in the world is difficult. I'm not talking about myself, but the hardships I experienced in the past... Although the world is vast, if there is no power to draw near, how can there be peace and happiness for a long time! That's all, Don't talk anymore, I know you are bored, I will go to the back car to look after Sister Gu."

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er frowning, Zheng Xiuyuan shut up and went back to the car.

"Dai Zhi, Lang, Lang Jun, we all have our own skills, and we will definitely not become a drag..."

After Zheng Xiuyuan left, the former court lady Liu Anzi who was also in the car said nervously.

After Shangguan Wan'er heard the words, she patted the little lady on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Silly lady, I am not afraid that you will drag me down. On the contrary, I will drag you down, right? Princess Yong asked you to follow me, afraid that I will live in the same place as you." Distressed and unable to make a living, do you ask for help in an emergency?"

"Lang, Mr. Lang knows?"

When Liu Anzi heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered: "I didn't intend to hide from your husband, it's just that the concubine asked me..."

"The concubine is dignified and dignified, so she is worthy of being called a king. I accept my love, but if you follow me and are not used to being poor, you can return to the palace after entering Beijing."

Shangguan Wan'er sighed, both relieved and disappointed.

After passing the customs, the group paused for a while in front of the gate, waiting for the original car to be led back, and then saw a group of pedestrians still walking on the plateau.

"Those are wandering food who have lost their homes. There are soup cakes on the plateau, so that they can feed their stomachs and continue to travel west."

Zheng Xiuyuan, who led the car back, explained, and said with emotion: "Before I passed the customs, I really underestimated the politics of Taiwan. The government lays out. This "Swallow Fu" is hand-written by everyone who passes the customs. As long as they can memorize the chanting, soup cakes will be distributed along the way to feed the dead. It is said that as long as you can write in Fuzhou County, you can write a single word. Divide the field into one mu."

"Writing one character is worth one acre of field?"

Hearing what Zheng Xiuyuan said, everyone in the company, including Shangguan Wan'er, was amazed. Shangguan Wan'er went in and took the copybook from Zheng Xiuyuan's hand. Seeing that the copybook was more than two hundred words long, there was little repetition. And they are all commonly used words.

For a person like her who has read poetry and books and received a good education since she was a child, this is naturally not a test. After reading it once, she can write correctly.But for some rural dead people who have been illiterate since they were born, this test is not difficult.

"His Royal Highness King Yong is going to spread the scriptures and teachings to the countryside, including the king and the people!"

Shangguan Wan'er has a delicate heart, when she heard this unusual order, she understood it after a little thought.This copybook has a dignified and upright font, and it is the new regular script created by King Yong. Because the name and title of King Yong are changeable, the current name is simply Wang Kai, which is highly praised by officials in Taiwan. It became the font of choice for court administrative documents.

Of course, the copybook in his hand is definitely not Yongwang's handwriting, it is rigid and dull, full of craftsmanship, it doesn't even look like it was written by human hands, it is more like a printed copybook used by Buddhist temples to preach the scriptures.Now being used by Xingtai, it has become a coup for Xingtai to educate people to read and understand.

In addition, Zheng Xiuyuan also took back another copybook, which is not a copybook for teaching people to read, but a price list of daily necessities in Chang'an City, which is something that merchants like.

But not only merchants, when Zheng Xiuyuan saw this clear and clear price list, he couldn't help but said: "There is such a huge price difference between the two capitals in the current market. It's not close to the ground now, so it's better to stay short." In a few days, allow me to return to Kanto to prepare a batch of seasonal goods to enter Beijing, so that I can make up for the trip if I lose money?"

Speaking of this, he added another sentence: "Right now, there is a martial arts show on Yuanyuan, and His Royal Highness King Yong is living here to train the army. If we move forward at this time, there may be many obstacles on the way..."

"Just like my uncle said, don't be greedy for profit, just the right amount."

After hearing the words, Shangguan Wan'er pondered for a while, then nodded and said.She also couldn't tell whether she was moved by the reasons her uncle said, or whether she wandered around the country and was reluctant to move forward.

Zheng Xiuyuan arranged a group of people in the guest house in the west of Tongguan, and then led a dozen servants to pass through and return to Guandong, using the price list as a guide to collect and sell a batch of goods.

Naturally, it is impossible to disclose the martial arts scene on stage to the public.However, the drums and trumpets on the plateau were noisy all day long, which also made the surrounding people frightened and bandits disappeared.The entire Tongguan road is also very safe, and it is almost impossible to pick up lost items near the road.

The post house where Shangguan Wan'er and her party stayed was adjacent to the post road. On this day, a team of cavalry suddenly visited and interrogated them carefully in the guest house.The hundreds of people in their group are almost all from the big family, and their temperament is naturally very different from that of the common people. Especially a group of dozens of middle-level officials and eunuchs can already see the difference from ordinary men in appearance, and naturally they have been subject to intensive interrogation.

When Shangguan Wan'er was in Shendu, she was almost the inner minister of the palace. Now that she left the palace and went into the wild, the corresponding confession papers were naturally arranged. All the people were just old palace people who were released from the palace, and they were going to settle down in Chang'an.

Similar situations are not uncommon, especially after the revolution in Shendu, a large number of palace officials were sent out of the palaces in Shendu.Among them, a considerable number of people were originally from Guannei. In the old year, they went to Shendu with Shengjia. They left their hometown for more than ten years.

"It turned out to be an old man in the palace, so I'm rude."

The soldier commander who was in charge of the interrogation checked that the document was correct, and his attitude was also polite. Especially seeing that Shangguan Wan'er was hidden as the leader of the crowd, her temperament and appearance were all refined. , said: "Your family, please take care of this customs order. Although there are few bee robbers in Shaanxi provinces, it is difficult to prevent the big households in prefectures and counties from abducting people into slavery. Especially old people who are out of the palace, especially need to be on guard against this. With the customs order in hand, you can directly sue the government in case of trouble, so you can not lose your asylum."

Rich families kidnap people and raise slaves. Although Xingtai has focused on cracking down on them, they have repeatedly banned them.Some tyrants dominate the countryside, and they like to play wild tricks, and they are even more coveted by the old people in the palace.With so many people in Shangguan Wan'er's party, if they were really targeted by a powerful man, they would be in a bad situation.

Of course, since she dared to go on the road like this, Shangguan Wan'er was not unprepared.Although the eunuchs who accompanied them looked a little less masculine, they were either warriors from the Yunshao Mansion in the Inner Jiaofang, or armored disciples in the inner stables, and their military strength was not weak. It's going to be bloody.

After a group of Jia people checked, they took away a few travelers whose origins were unknown, but it did not cause any more trouble.

On this day, Shangguan Wan'er was holding a book and reading in the guest room in the hall when suddenly the maid Liu Anzi hurried over and said excitedly: "Lang Jun, let's go to the street! His Royal Highness King Yong returned to the capital today. Pass this way!"

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, her heart throbbed suddenly, but her expression was still indifferent, she just covered her eyes and sighed: "It's not like I haven't seen it before, why bother to make trouble again."

But Liu Anzi came forward and took her arm and begged: "Go and see, just take a look! Although I have seen you in the past, but with His Highness's demeanor, who would hate to see him? I don't know when I will be lucky enough to see you next year..."

"Then take a look!"

Shangguan Wan'er smiled helplessly, she seemed to mutter to herself while getting up: "Just take a look..."

The post road in the countryside is not as majestic and majestic as the mansion in Mingtang, the capital of God, but there are cavalry troops holding flags on both sides of the post road.

The post house is still one mile away from the post road avenue. When Shangguan Wan'er and others walked out, the open space on the left side of the road was already full of spectators waiting to pay their respects.

"From the observation tower here, you can see the guards of honor on the post road. It only costs a hundred dollars to go on the stage! His Royal Highness King Yong is a noble heaven and man. When will he be able to travel in the countryside? If you miss this day, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
