History is still proceeding in an orderly manner.

There is no deviation from what Wang Zheng remembers.

Something happened, and the resulting impact also affected Qingzhou.

Zhaoxian Military Camp is no exception.

Ten days later.

In the early morning of this day, when Wang Zheng walked out of the door, as usual, people kept saying hello along the way, and he responded with a smile. Everyone he saw in front of him had a happy face.

Today is the day when military pay is distributed.

When we arrived at the center of the military camp, we saw that many people had gathered, forming a group around a bunch of mule carts like a country fair. They were either carrying baskets or bags, and they were all waiting eagerly.

That's where military pay and food are carried.

A grain transport officer and a few soldiers were scolding everyone to queue up, and pointed at the notice board beside them.

There was a document posted on the notice board, but everyone was asked to see it first before collecting their pay.

How many ordinary people in this world can read and write?

The document was like a heavenly book to them. No one could understand it, so they all clamored for the grain transport officer to dictate it directly and publish it.

"There are so many people and they come in batches. Do you want me to say it to everyone?"

However, the grain transport officer was reluctant and said angrily: "My duty is just to come with grain, pay and notices. Under the orders of the state pastor, I read the notices first and then receive the pay."

When Wang Zheng heard this, he became curious, so he came up and looked at the document in front of him, seemingly thoughtful, but actually a little confused.

Although the official script used in the Han Dynasty has the same origin as the simplified characters of later generations, the difference is actually very big. When he first crossed over, he was not much better than an illiterate person. These days, he secretly worked hard and made some progress. After some reluctant reading, he finally guessed and combined it.

I know the history and understand the general outline.

After Wang Zheng became famous after the last competition on the school field, he struck while the iron was hot and took the initiative to expand his contacts to include other towns and counties.

These people always like to gather somewhere to chat during the day during their spare time, and Wang Zheng often participates.

Or take advantage of the topic to mention some historical allusions, or mention some current events, or adapt some jokes from later generations.

His eloquence is actually average, and he was not easy to learn in his previous life. However, in the era of information explosion for thirty years, his life was not in vain. In terms of breadth of knowledge, it is difficult for ordinary people to reach it. Even the famous scholars of the world may not be able to compare.

After going back and forth, the popularity in this military camp has become quite high.

Although he is young, he is already a capable person with "extraordinary bravery" and "extraordinary knowledge" in the eyes of everyone.

Now seeing Wang Zheng standing in front of the notice, everyone gathered together.

"Brother Zheng, what does this notice say?"

"Yes, a descendant of the Wang family, you are well-informed and must be literate. Please read it to us and talk about it."

Wang Zheng's next words made most people frown immediately.

"What this notice says is that Xuzhou has joined forces with the rebel Pi Que and repeatedly violated the state's borders. The state pastor is preparing to use troops against Xuzhou, so the military pay will be reduced next and each person will be allocated one dendrobium."

Wang Zheng explained, while muttering secretly: "Is this the case that Cao Song has been killed by Tao Qian?"

But why is it not mentioned in the document?

The Han Dynasty ruled the world with "filial piety", and even the most important promotion system was "promoting filial piety and integrity". It even formulated the "Law of Insults", which clearly stipulated that if the crime was committed because of the hatred of blood relatives and elders, leniency could be dealt with.

The official endorsement of killing was justified, which would be unthinkable in the eyes of later generations, but it was the established social custom at this time.

"Private revenge" has become a behavior that is tacitly approved and even praised by both the court and the people. Many people have even become famous for it and have engraved monuments on it.

For example, when Xiahou Dun was young, he committed murder because of the humiliation of his commander, and became famous from then on. Sun Ce's death was also because he killed Xu Gong, and his disciples were determined to take revenge. In the end, the assassination was successful, and the little overlord died young.

Therefore, if it is under the banner of avenging his father, then attacking Xuzhou will be an upright division with a reputation, and it will make the sergeants unite and share the same hatred of the enemy.

It is impossible for heroes like Cao Cao to be unaware of this key point, and it must be widely publicized.

Nowadays, there are only a few words about the official tone of the rebels joining forces, especially when it involves cutting military pay...

To be honest, my credibility is greatly reduced.

In his previous life, Wang Zheng was not a person who liked to study history. He had never read the original work of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and only heard of its name.

It's just that entering Cao's camp after traveling through time is closely related to his own destiny, so he has been racking his brains to recall the relevant historical materials of the Three Kingdoms, especially Cao and Wei.

Finally I remembered some major events,

It's just that he either doesn't know the details and the ins and outs behind those big events, or he can't remember them, or he's worried that his memory is biased.

While he was clearing his thoughts, everyone had already rushed to surround the grain transport officer and start shouting.

They didn't care about Cao Cao's reasons for attacking Xuzhou, but they couldn't accept the reduction in military pay.

"What does your Yanzhou attack on Xuzhou have to do with Qingzhou? Why do you want to cut our military pay?"

"One handful? It's just that much every month. It's not enough to eat in the first place, so we need to reduce it? Is this going to cut off our livelihood?"

"Zhou Mu promised well at the beginning that we would have no worries about food and clothing. But now, after only a few months, he has changed his mind?"

"enough!"

The grain transport officer wiped his face in embarrassment, which was covered with the spittle of the villagers, and shouted angrily:

"What are you yelling at me for? Now that you all know it, let's start paying now."

As he spoke, he showed his sword and threatened:

"Anyone who makes trouble again will have their military pay confiscated and be dealt with according to military law!"

No matter how little you have, it's better than nothing.

Thinking of this, most people lined up obediently even though their faces looked angry.

Wang Zheng watched with cold eyes, but secretly sneered at the "one handful" in his heart.

The soldiers and horses move forward before food and grass are moved.

Since a war is imminent, it is reasonable to gather food and fodder in case it is not needed.

The Qingzhou Army had surrendered not long ago, but Cao Cao was still willing to keep part of their rations, probably because he didn't want to start a fire in the backyard.

It's just that Cao Cao knew that things couldn't be done without hesitation, but the people below may not know that.

The two parties who were still fighting against each other last year have only been fighting each other for a few months now, and time is still short. The hostility and estrangement between the two groups still exists, and they are not of the same mind.

What's more, judging from Captain Xiahou's attitude that day, the middle-level generals on Cao Cao's side also despised the Yellow Turbans and had a bad impression of them.

Coupled with the intermediate links in decentralizing government orders in any era, deductions and shortages will always be inevitable.

The previous three dendrobiums were all short of each other, but now one dendrobium...

"Where is there a bunch of dendrobium here!"

As he expected, the crowd broke into commotion again.

"It's only five liters at most."

"The ones I sent before were unshelled."

The grain transport officer looked impatient and scolded: "You see clearly, this time it is all shelled rice! Of course it is only five liters!"

"One husk of rice is worth eight or nine liters after being shelled. You don't even have half of it!"

A country man couldn't bear it any longer and rushed forward, grabbing the grain transport officer's collar with all his strength:

"Are you greedy for our food rations?"

"It's against you!"

The grain transport officer did not expect that someone would dare to take action. He was stunned for a moment, and then became furious. He whipped out his sword and stabbed him directly.

not good!

The moment the opponent's eyes showed murderous intent, Wang Zheng secretly screamed that something was wrong, and without thinking about it, he rushed forward.

But it was too far apart and blocked by the crowd, so it ended up being a little slow.

With a scream, the country man swayed and fell limply to the ground.

"If you join our army and don't change your traitorous nature, you will become a traitor to the people!"

The grain transport officer snorted coldly, wiped his sword on the corpse, glanced at his uniform that was spattered with blood, and looked up at the crowd with an unhappy expression:

"So that you all know that if you dare to offend Shangguan in our Yanzhou military camp, this will be the consequences!"

"This is military law!"

"Continue to pay, next one, move quickly."

Looking at the numb crowd, Wang Zheng's eyes flashed with pain.

These are the farmers of the Celestial Dynasty. They are like this in every dynasty, which makes people sad for their misfortune and makes them even more angry for not fighting.

They would be angry, angry, and unwilling to be oppressed and humiliated by people such as aristocratic families, gentry, bureaucrats, and landlords, but they would always be patient and patient.

They are like weeds on the edge of the field. Every oppression will make them bend down and let others harvest them.

Even if you are in fear of being in danger all day long, no matter how much unwillingness you have accumulated in poverty and hunger, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope to survive...
