Chapter 9 A soldier

In the darkness, Pei Minqiu woke up from her sleep. She heard a serene sound and felt someone in the room. She pushed her husband around her casually, but pushed her into a flash.

"Husband, is it you?"

"Yeah!" Yang Yuanqing agreed.

Pei Minqiu felt relieved, and it turned out that the sound of her husband was silent, "When is it now? Is it dawn?"

Thick curtains hung on the windows, covering the light outside, and the time cannot be seen.

"You go to bed! It's still early now, it's only four o'clock."

Pei Minqiu was shocked. What should I do when I got up so early? She touched the scythe by the bed and lit the candle. She saw Yang Yuanqing wearing an ordinary soldier uniform, bent down and put on boots, with her hair long. If he had spoken first, at first glance, Pei Minqiu thought that some soldier thief had touched her room.

Minqiu smiled with a pursed lips and looked at her husband's outfit with her cheeks. I wonder what he had thought about again.

"Husband, come here!" Minqiu stretched out her jade lotus-like arm and waved to him.

"What?" Yang Yuanqing put on his boots and asked back.

"I'll tie you your hair."

Minqiu sat up from the quilt, and she was wearing only a small belly-cuckling coat, revealing her plump and delicate skin like mutton fat. She patted herself and said, "Sit down!"

Yang Yuanqing sat down beside her. Minqiu knelt on the bed, carefully tied his hair up, and whispered in his ear, "Will you go out so late to be a flower picker?"

Yang Yuanqing reached into her jade thighs and groped and smiled, "With a lady like you, why should I be a flower-picking thief?"

"Don't...."

Minqiu pulled his hand away, blushed her pretty face, laid her chin on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Or sleep for a while?"

Yang Yuanqing restrained the desire in his heart and shook his head with a smile.

"You bad guy!"

Minqiu punched him on the back and said coquettishly: "Then you just want to go out and be a flower picker, right?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled without saying a word. Min Qiu just joked with him, tied his hair in a bun and tied it tightly, then pushed him and said with a sweet smile: "Go! Flower-picking thief.-<  >-net."

She got into the quilt and closed her eyes, "Well! The quilt is still warm, it's so cold outside that only fools go out."

Yang Yuanqing gently kissed her pretty face and quickly walked out. Minqiu slowly opened her eyes and her eyes became extremely gentle. He knew what her husband was going out to do. Today is the first day of recruit training. In fact, he should live in the military camp. This is his tradition. He has to be busy for a month every year.

"Hey! It's really not easy to be a manager."

Minqiu sighed softly. At this time, she couldn't sleep anymore. She got up and put on her clothes and walked towards her child's room.

.........

October of each year is the season for Fengzhou to recruit new recruits. Fengzhou implements a military system that combines the system of government troops and recruitment. Every man has to join the army after the age of 18. His only son does not join the army, and his two sons will be given one. The father and son are in the army. The father and son stay together, the son stay together, the brothers stay together, and the brothers stay together, but even if he does not join the army, he must join the militia. After joining the army, he will receive military pay every month and distribute the food for military farming in the late autumn.

The number of Fengzhou troops was customized to 30,000, but after Yang Yuanqing became 60,000, this year, it will increase to 100,000, so the number of recruits this year was 40,000.

For a large agricultural county like Fengzhou with a population of more than 200,000 households, the court's standard is that six households raise one army, so more than 200,000 households raise one army, which is indeed a bit heavy. Fortunately, Fengzhou's land is fertile, convenient irrigation, and benefits from the entire Hetao Plain. Therefore, the army also carried out military farming and self-supporting, which basically solved the problem of military food, and the burden on the people was not too heavy.

The first thing new recruits do when they enter the camp is physical training. They have to run fifty miles a day for a month. These soldiers are militia groups and have strict training at ordinary times. This high-intensity tour only allows them to transform from civilians into soldiers as soon as possible.

The training of the new recruits started from the fifth day of the day. They set off from the barracks outside the city and ran towards Dali City. They were fully armed, armoured, swords, bows, arrows, shields, and military blankets, and had a weight of more than 20 pounds, but they did not run towards Dali City, but ran twenty miles away, and then turned back.

Under the stars, 40,000 new soldiers were divided into twenty teams and running on the wide road. This was an extremely spectacular scenery. A group of soldiers were neatly arranged and running silently. The training officers next to them were following along with a horse. They held whips in their hands, with a stern attitude, and dared to avoid cheating and cheating, and the whip would ruthlessly whip.

Five miles away from the city, a black shadow quietly joined the team, and then more than a dozen black shadows joined the team. Just as an officer saw it, he did not dare to say anything. They had to give in advance that if someone joined the training on the road, don't make a fuss.

But the curiosity in his heart still prompted the officer to urge him to step forward and quietly look at the shadow of the black shadow joining the team. With the stars, he suddenly saw it clearly. He was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth. He was wearing an ordinary soldier uniform and carrying the weight and running with the soldiers. It turned out to be their chief manager Yang Yuanqing.

The officer leading the army was extremely nervous. Why did the general manager appear in his team? If something happened, how would he explain? He was worried that it would be unnecessary. The dozen black shadows behind him were Yang Yuanqing's personal soldiers, who were protecting him at any time. Moreover, this officer was leading a new recruit for the first time. He didn't know that Yang Yuanqing actually appeared in the recruit training team every year.

When Yang Yuanqing saw him, he waved to him with a smile. The officer in charge of the army felt a little moved. He stopped talking and followed Yang Yuanqing silently on a horse.

"Where is this guy from his ancestral home? What's his name?"

The sky gradually became brighter and everyone was sweating. While running, Yang Yuanqing asked the recruits beside him. The recruits were very young and seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. He smiled shyly and said, "I am from Chang'an, and my name is Jiang Xiaofu. Where are you, brother?"

Yang Yuanqing laughed and said, "A coincidence! I am from Chang'an, and my surname is Yang."

The recruit suddenly became interested and asked, "My old house is in Pingkangfang, Chang'an. Where is Brother Yang's?

"My family is in Wubenfang and haven't been back for many years."

"There are many noble people living in Wubenfang, and the Yang Mansion is also there. It is the hometown of our chief manager. Brother Yang, have you ever met the chief manager?"

"I've seen it! I've stayed with him for a few days."

"You've seen the general manager shoot archery? I heard that the general manager has unparalleled archery skills in the world."

"His archery skills are pretty careless, but there are many unknown masters with great archery skills. The unparalleled world is just a reputation and cannot be taken seriously."

"Who are you? How dare you talk nonsense here!" A vicious voice suddenly came from behind.

When Yang Yuanqing turned around, he saw a burly young man behind him, only ten years old, with a very big and round waist, staring at him with anger.

"We are the most in charge of archery in the world. This is recognized by the heroes in the world. Who are you old enough to say you can't take it seriously?"

His voice was loud and full of angrily aggravated, which attracted many people to look here. The officer next to him was furious and waved the whip at the young man. Yang Yuanqing quickly looked fast, grabbed the whip with his backhand, and scolded him angrily, "Don't beat the soldiers again!"

The officer was frightened and forgot Yang Yuanqing's identity at this time. He quickly bowed and said, "Yes! Obey the order."

His 'lowering duties' caused an uproar in the soldiers around him. The new recruit Jiang Xiaofu next to him had a terror in his eyes and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Yang, who are you?"

Yang Yuanqing glared at the officer fiercely. He knew it was difficult to hide it, so he simply ran out of the team and waved to the recruits beside him and said, "Brothers, I am Yang Yuanqing, the general manager of Fengzhou. From today on, I am also a recruit, running with you brothers. We are companions for a month. Back then, I was a little fire chief. Today, I am still everyone's fire chief!"

In the team, the soldiers exclaimed in surprise, all looking at Yang Yuanqing in the same military uniform as them. This was their general manager. When they trained with them, many soldiers were so moved that they shouted, "Long live General Manager Yang!"

Yang Yuanqing laughed and said, "Don't shout it out the word "Long live"!"

He did not allow the soldiers to shout long live, but unexpectedly thousands of soldiers shouted together, "Long live Mr. Yang! Long live!"

This was a cry from the heart. These young soldiers were moved by their chief executive on the morning of the first day they joined the army.

The burly soldier slapped himself hard and cursed: "You idiot, except General Yang, who dares to say that his archery skills are sloppy?"

This is his idol. He was so excited that tears came out, and he raised his arms and shouted: "Long live Mr. Yang!"

The young soldier Jiang Xiaofu was also excited and shouted: "Long live!"

"Please calm down everyone!"

Yang Yuanqing's face became serious, like a strict fireman, "Reorganize the team, don't speak anymore, pay attention to the consistency of pace, and speed up running."

The soldiers were energetic and accelerated their pace to run north. The team was neat, and the sound of leather boots of "Click!Click!" was filled with rhythm. Everyone's heart began to boil. They felt that they had gradually become a real soldier.

...........

After running for fifty miles, it was already dawn. Yang Yuanqing no longer participated in the training of the recruits, but returned to the general manager's office under the escort of more than a dozen personal soldiers.

As soon as he reached the yamen, he saw Xiao Feng, the new chief of the Neiwei Mansion, hurried over. Xiao Feng was also a soldier who joined the army in Dunhuang and a famous family. He served as the military officer of the Fengzhou Army. After Xie Sili was sent to Yang Xuangan's office by Yang Yuanqing, Xiao Feng took over the position of Chief of the Neiwei Mansion.

Xiao Feng also saw Yang Yuanqing and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I have urgent matters to report to the general manager!"

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Go in and talk!"

When he walked into the official room, Yang Yuanqing sat down. The fifty-mile run was not exhausted for him, but instead made him energetic. He asked first: "How is that Hanji grocery store controlled?"

Xiao Feng bowed and said, "Report to the supervisor, Han Chang has surrendered to us, and he is willing to cooperate with us."

"Just give him that heavy armor equipment."

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said, "Wait a little longer, don't let Li Yuan feel that it's so easy to get it."

"I understand!"

Yang Yuanqing turned the topic back, "What's the matter urgent? Tell me!"

"There is news from Sili."

“How to say it?”

Xiao Feng took out a letter and handed it to Yang Yuanqing, "He said he had become Yang...gong's aide."

When Yang Yuanqing saw him change his words temporarily, he smiled, "It's okay to call him his name directly, sometimes I just call him directly."

"yes!"

Yang Yuanqing took out the letter and read it, nodded, Xie Sili lived up to his trust and became Yang Xuangan's aide. The next step depends on how he implemented his strategy.
