With one word from the emperor, another 280,000 troops were dismissed, so Guo Huai was discharged from the army.

Guo Huai joined the army in the 12th year of Chongzhen. Before joining the army, he was a monk from Shandong. He was very good at fist and kicking. He was a little brave and fierce. He repeatedly fought with people outside the temple and violated the temple rules. In addition, there were constant natural disasters at that time, and the war was in succession, so it was not easy to live in the temple. The host sent all the young disciples down the mountain and let them find a way out.

Guo Huai had heard that several generals in the Chu army were once monks, and they had become generals when they followed Zhennan Hou to fight. It happened that the Chu army was suppressing bandits in Huaibei, so Guo Huai found Liu Jun's troops and asked to join the army to eat food and carry guns.

Later, when the Chu army entered Liao, Guo Huai became a hunter because of his good skills. Once he and several companions met a Jurchen cavalry team, and the other side was several times theirs, including several Bayala, but Guo Huai was not afraid at all. A big gun in his hand was like a dragon going out to sea.

In that battle, Guo Huai cut off the rear and covered his companions' evacuation.

When his companions came with reinforcements, they saw only corpses everywhere. More than 20 Jurchen Tartars, including the three Bayala, did not escape, and were all killed by Guo Huai. When Guo Huai was found, he was already stained with blood, with more than 30 wounds all over his body, and he fainted.

At that time, everyone thought that Guo Huai would definitely not be able to save him, but after carrying him back, he was unconscious for a few days and survived the disaster.

That year, he was only eighteen years old. Guo Huai became famous in the battle and the entire Chu army knew about it.

After hearing about this, Liu Jun specially rewarded Guo Huai with 100 taels of silver and awarded him a medal. He also proposed to transfer him to be his own personal guard, so Guo Huai went to Liu Jun to be a personal guard. However, Guo Huai was a person who refused to be honest. When he arrived in Liu Jun's personal guard, he had no good relationship with his companions. Instead, he often showed his fists and tactful hands with his companions. He also had a habit of drinking, and sometimes he would go crazy after drinking too much.

Finally, he asked himself to go back down, but Liu Jun tried to keep him. But he didn't force him, and finally Guo Huai went back and brought up a company commander.

Until now, Guo Huai has become the deputy battalion commander, but he still loves drinking and fighting. He is already the deputy battalion commander, but when he fights, he still likes to charge forward like an infantryman, and always has to carry his ghost-headed sword to fight with others. He ignores all of these assisting battalion commander and serving as the commander of the reserve team.

Especially, he was unwilling to study and learn calligraphy. He was even more unwilling to listen to command and combat. As a result, no battalion commander could be as good as Guo Huai.

The last time he was dismissed 200,000, the assistant chief had already reported his name. However, in the end, the admiral crossed out his name. Guo Huai was also a combat hero and had been the emperor's personal guard.

But after 200,000 disarmament, 280,000 disarmament was immediately followed.

This time, the chief of the assistant chief did not report Guo Huai's name, but Guo Huai took the initiative to ask for retirement. In Guo Huai's words, he knew that everyone didn't like him, and he couldn't be a bullshit officer, and could not learn their kind of commanding and combat. Since there are not so many people in the army now, he might as well retire.

Anyway, there is a generous amount of retirement bonus for retirement. For middle and low-level officers of his level can be promoted to another level and even arranged local positions.

Guo Huai's request was reported to the top. The admiral thought for a long time and finally approved it. Originally, the admiral thought that although Guo Huai was not suitable for being a commander, a fierce man like him could still be converted to a coach. Even if the coach had no rank, he was transferred to a coach as a deputy battalion commander, and he was also a left coach, and he was treated as a deputy battalion-level officer.

But since Guo Huai is willing to retire from the army, he is also worried.

A reply was made. So Guo Huai changed his career.

The above also added a first-level position to him, which was a place where the battalion-level officer was transferred to the job. The above recommended him several places to go, such as going to a police academy or going directly to the police force. At his level, you can go to some big cities such as Beijing, Tianjin and Nanjing. Whether it is going to a police academy or a police force, it is also a leadership position.

However, Guo Huai refused and asked to retire directly, not to transfer to the job. In other words, he did not plan to eat public food anymore.

"Are you dissatisfied with these positions? If you have any opinions, please raise them, let's consider it."

"I'm not dissatisfied, I just want to be more free. I'm going to open a company after I'm retiring from the army."

Guo Huai's words shocked his boss so much that he couldn't speak. You are just a slut. You can start a company besides drinking and fighting, and what company do you start?

"Don't be emotional. If you have any ideas, we will definitely consider them well and will definitely solve the problem of transfer and resettlement for you."

"Sir, what I said is true. I have already decided to open any company. I will go back to Shandong and open a security company to specialize in bodyguards."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be angry, his boss had to helplessly follow his personal wishes. The transfer of career became a demobilization, and the report was sent to him. Finally, he agreed and the superiors gave him a demobilization fee.

Compared to Guo Huai, who voluntarily left the army, more soldiers and officers were reluctant. The army was treated well and had a good future, and it had long become a place where everyone was very willing to come in. After finally coming in, of course they were even more reluctant to leave. They laid off two consecutive layoffs, 480,000 yuan, and more than one-third were laid off.

How to resettle these laid-off officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers is also a very important issue.

According to the emperor's intention, the officers should try to transfer to local offices, and they mainly arrange to go to police teams in various places. Now there are special police teams in various places to replace the old three-squad yamen runners and other like that. Police stations in various places need people to go to grassroots police stations, as well as Mounted Police, Criminal Police, Fire Brigade, etc.

It is naturally very suitable for a demobilized soldier who has been a soldier.

There are also some educated military officers and non-commissioned officers who can also be arranged to serve officials and officials in various places. In short, the nearly 500,000 people laid out from the army, excluding the 80,000 North Korean and Jurchens, and the remaining 400,000 are still responsible for arranging the work as much as possible.

Of course, those who voluntarily demobilized will also follow their wishes and will pay a demobilization and resettlement fee at one time. In addition, the emperor also instructed to set up a special veterans association to handle the affairs of these demobilized, demobilized, and retired soldiers.

Despite this, many officers and soldiers still expressed difficulty in accepting it.

Especially many officers, who fought for the court, now they were going to be demoted with a document. Many officers were used to life in the army, and the treatment in the army was good, and there was enough room for improvement. When they arrived, many officers who had barely learned a little in the army. Even if the court had settled and transferred their jobs and allowed them to work in the local area, they would have much room for improvement in the future.

When I went to the place, I often became police station chiefs, patrol captains, fire brigade captains, security captains, joint defense captains, militia captains, etc. In the end, I guess they were deputy township chiefs, police chiefs, etc.

But if they don’t understand the management and the understanding, they will have to obey after the above command.

Soldiers take obedience as their duty, and even if this obedience is to ask them to leave the army, they still have to obey.

Many people's eyes were filled with tears when they left.

All troops held farewell parties and organized meals.

Everyone sang military songs, drank beer, and recalled the training and battles in the army. Although the epaulettes were taken away, the commemorative medals on everyone's chests were still dazzling.

"When you arrive, don't embarrass our Seventh Town, don't embarrass the Nine-Headed Birds with tattoos on you. Wherever you go, the soldiers of our Seventh Town are all good. Whether you are transferred, demobilized, or retired, or you will be an official or an official in the future, or you will start a business by yourself. Or you will go home to farm, forget your years in the Seventh Town, remember our Nine-Headed Birds. The battle number of our Seventh Town is unwavering and never surrender."

The Seventh Town, stationed in Shandong, laid off a few thousand last time, but this time it was laid off a few thousand more. In the end, only 20,000 people were retained, and they were replaced by one town, two divisions and four associations.

Admiral General Ma Xianglin gathered all these people together and personally held a farewell party for everyone.

"Go forward and never surrender"

A group of bare-headed men yelled together. In the first month of the year, everyone took off their shirts and exposed their arms. Let the tattoo of the Nine-Headed Bird shine outside.

For them, no matter how reluctant they are, they will have to leave the military camp. All they can take away are the nine-headed bird tattoos on their bodies, and the scars left during the battle.

Guo Huai had his head naked, and the scars on it were obvious. His upper body was also naked. In addition to the bulging muscles that looked particularly strong, there were also the scars under the nine-headed bird's tattoo.

Guo Huai's body had the most scars among all the veterans present, with more than fifty places of all sizes.

"This part was injured when I first went to the battlefield. At that time, I was just driven out of the presidency from Shandong Temple, and then I defected to the emperor to participate in the first battle. I fought with the bandits in Jiangbei. At that time, I was a little nervous when I was in a daze. As a result, a guy stabbed me while I was stunned. Fortunately, I dodged quickly and only opened a tunnel, otherwise I would have died in the first battle."

Guo Huai pointed at a scar on his abdomen and said with a smile.

"Damn it, God won't accept you. I know that you, Monk Guo, is a god of killing. If you don't kill enough 100 people, how could you accept you so early?" a camp coach who was also discharged from the army shouted.

"Monk, you really have killed 100 people." Another person raised his wine glass and shouted. There have been rumors in the army that Monk Guo was a god of killing. He had been in the army for several years and had killed more than 100 people.

"I haven't counted the specific ones, but it's definitely more than one hundred. The military merit records above must be, how many each time, and how many each time. But I can't remember it clearly, more than one hundred. I think that in Liaodong that year, I killed more than twenty at a time. Look at this, this, and this, these more than thirty scars were left at that time. Damn, the Jurchen Bayala is just like this."

"Monkey enough to grow"

"Awesome"

Everyone praised loudly at home.

"Monk, I heard that you are going home to start a business and do business. You know how to do business, and you are not afraid of losing all the resettlement fees when you pay for it. You are afraid that you will lose your underwear."

"Fuck, why can't I open a company? I used to be a monk and didn't I become an officer anymore. Now that I'm demobilized, why can't I open a company? When I go back, I will open a security company. If you can't make it, then you are welcome to come and find me. I will give you some food."

Everyone scolded and laughed at each other. Usually, there are many rules in the military camp, and they are not allowed to drink until they are on vacation. Even if they are on vacation, they can only drink outside and cannot get drunk, otherwise the military police will cause trouble for you.

But now that he is leaving, no one will stop him, and the gendarmes in black and red armbands will not appear on this occasion.

Today there are no higher or lower levels, nor military officers and soldiers. Everyone has handed over their epaulettes and is no longer a soldier. The military casual clothes on them are the last bit of nostalgia. Everyone let go and drink, laugh and scold together.

Not many people like Guo Huai are so bold. Most of them finally accepted the arrangements of the military, transferred to the local area, and went to the local area to become officials and officials.

However, no matter how much everyone smiled, they still admired the monk Guo Huai.

Damn, I'm mentally retarded, I'm a bold person. Maybe the security company can really open fire.

"Monk, if your company is bad, come to see your brother when he is dry, and you will never let you drink too much." A re-employed officer shouted. On the battlefield, Monk Guo once blocked his sword for him, which was a life-long friendship.

"I'm just saying this to you, brother, let's do a bowl of wine." Guo Huai smiled and poured two bowls of wine.

Without any hesitation at all, the man took the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"Drink" more people pick up their wine glasses.

Ma Xianglin's face turned red when he drank, and he was very moved to see it.

"What a great soldier, to be honest, I really can't bear to leave them. The Han Dynasty has all depended on them to achieve today. Everyone sacrificed their lives, shed their blood, drove out the Tartars, restored China, and now they conquered the Japanese, and fought against foreigners, and made great achievements."

"Yes, from the Nine-Headed Bird to the Chu Army and then to the current Emperor of Han, it is exciting to think about how great the empire has been established in just a few years. Although the world is not peaceful now, the Central Plains have been peaceful. The soldiers can put their swords on the Nanshan Mountain, and the swords are put into the warehouse, so that some soldiers take off their military uniforms and return to their hometowns. What's the reason for this is not a benevolent policy," said the head coach of the Seventh Town.

"No brothers can wait for this day. We are worth it compared to them." The Chief of Staff of the Seventh Town also nodded.

Ma Xianglin smiled, "Sometimes I envy these bastards. I really want to take off this red and blue military robe and take off my armor and return to the field."

The chief of staff said, "I can't bear to leave it, but the army is still happy."

"Yes, since we stayed, we must always remember our choice today, never forget our original intention, live up to the empire, and live up to the saint," Ma Xianglin sighed.

The Chief of Staff picked up the wine glass in his hand, drank the remaining half of the wine in it, and turned around to ask the one-eyed Xiao Ma Chao, the admiral of the Central Plains and the general of the Seventh Town, Ma Xianglin, "Military Gate, do we have the opportunity to go south to fight after the New Year?"

Ma Xianglin shook his head, "I have fought many times and asked for battle and the memorials have been put on, but they are all like stones sinking into the sea and there is no reply at all."
