Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 174



Chapter 174
Zhechong Mansion's order cut through the tranquility of the night.

Datang's Fubing was half-soldier and half-farmer, and it was hereditary from father to son.The rules of Zhechong Mansions in various places are similar, some can be rotated, the whole country has a standing garrison, and the other part returns to the countryside to work in agriculture.

Once the war broke out, the Zhechong Mansion would immediately start the mechanism of summoning the soldiers who worked in agriculture, and the soldiers who were working in agriculture in the countryside would be called back to the village.

Those farm soldiers are all veterans who have experienced battles, and most of their combat power is still at their peak. Most importantly, they have rich battlefield experience and can lead recruits to preserve themselves to the maximum extent in combat.

For the Zhechong Mansion, these farming veterans are the most precious treasures in an army.

The knight beat the gong and drove straight from the entrance of the village to the village.

The whole Zhuangzi was shocked.

Li Qinzai in the other courtyard was startled, and hurried out with his clothes on, and followed the knight.

The knight rode his horse and ran all the way to the old locust tree in the center of the village, the gong in his hand was still beating non-stop.

An old farmer came out cursing and yelling: "Okay, stop! The adults in the village are awake, don't startle the children, and beat you to death again."

The knight was obviously a small military officer in Zhechong's mansion, but he didn't dare to put on airs in front of the old farmer who had no official or job title. Instead, he got off his horse and saluted respectfully.

The old farmer didn't evade, Da Lala accepted his gift, and said slowly: "A foreign enemy invaded the side again? Where is it?"

The little military officer bowed and said with a smile: "It's not counted as a crime. Our master Wang suffered a small loss in Baekje. The Japanese attacked our master Wang regardless of his faith. We killed and wounded thousands of people. The emperor issued an edict and vowed to take revenge." , so the veterans who worked in agriculture from all over the country were called to return to the building."

The old farmer laughed: "This emperor is not bad, he is bloody and has the temper of the late emperor. It should be like this. If we suffer a loss, we will repay it a hundred times and a thousand times! We are a man in Guanzhong, and we don't give up! I am Zhenguannian I am a veteran, and this time I will return to Jian."

The little military officer laughed and said: "Your old... you should just farm with peace of mind. Zhechong Mansion summoned soldiers from the middle-aged man."

The old farmer stared at him: "Why? Look down on me? You and I are fighting each other now. Believe it or not, I can squeeze your egg yolk to pieces?"

The little military officer's expression changed, and he hurriedly said: "Believe, believe, but... this is against the rules, I will be punished with a military stick when I return to Zhechong Mansion."

The onlookers laughed loudly, not at all nervous before the war, but beaming with joy.

The crowd was slammed open by a pair of big hands. Old Wei walked out of the crowd, glared at the old farmer and cursed: "I'm so old, it's obvious to you? Go to the battlefield at an early age, and no one will collect your body when you die. "

The old farmer replied without showing any weakness: "If you die, you will die. What kind of corpse will you collect? Later, you will earn a share of military merit for the children and grandchildren in the family, and you will be rewarded with ten or twenty acres of Yongye farmland. Ha, that's enough!"

Old Wei sneered: "You look like a coward and still want to earn Yongyetian, you are so beautiful. Let's fight against each other? I will save you an egg yolk, and I will give you another one. Do you dare?" ?”

The onlookers laughed loudly, and from time to time some people shouted and shouted.

The old farmer blushed, but he didn't dare to fight, he said resentfully: "I won't challenge you, you are like a beast when fighting people, and you only greet the next three ways."

In the crowd of onlookers, Li Qinzai looked at this scene full of laughter in amazement, which subverted his cognition.

In his perception, summoning veterans to the battlefield should be a miserable atmosphere, with family members wiping their tears, veterans confessing their funerals with sad faces, dark clouds over Zhuangzi, and every household shutting their doors and wailing.

But the scene in front of him seemed as if the Zhechong Mansion sent people down to distribute New Year's benefits to the farm households. Everyone was jubilant and beaming, and everyone was scrambling for the first place, for fear of being occupied by others.

The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty can be seen in these veterans.

Old Wei walked out of the crowd, patted his chest to the little military officer and said, "Don't worry about that old thing, I'll come. My old Wei was a soldier of Gyeonggi Province in the fourth year of Zhenguan. After passing through Tuyuhun, they followed Emperor Taizong to conquer Goguryeo, and this time they taught me a lesson to the pirates, and they were easily captured."

The little military officer smiled wryly and said: "Don't make things difficult for me, you are not young at this age, it is better to farm at home."

Old Wei's eyes widened: "I'm old? Fuck! I'm one year younger than that old bastard just now. I have a bad temper, don't talk nonsense with me, add my name to the roster, I will go on time Zhechong Mansion Dianmao, I bring my own weapons and leather armor."

In the crowd, Old Wei's son rushed out with a look of panic on his face: "Father, are you crazy? Why bother at this age, I should be the one to go!"

Old Wei turned his head and gave a piss, cursing angrily: "You are the best! I have gained a lot of strength in vain, and I have a way to survive on the battlefield, can you? Go back and wait for me. I will give it to our family later." Earn another [-] mu of land, and I want to try to be a landlord."

The little military officer had a bitter face. These veterans were aggressive and violent. Even though he was a military officer, he couldn't afford to provoke them.It is clearly a hard job to be ordered to call veterans back to Jian today.

Turning around and deliberately ignoring this troublesome old soldier, the little military officer looked around at the surrounding village households, and said loudly: "Is there any government soldiers in the village?"

There was a burst of shouting in the crowd.

"Have!"

As soon as the words were finished, a group of strong farmers stood up, and the farmers were instantly divided into two groups, one group consisted of old and weak women and children, and the other group consisted of strong men.

"In the 20th year of Zhenguan, Wang Sanlang, the mansion soldier, was ordered to return to the building!"

"Liu Lidong, a military soldier in the third year of Yonghui, was ordered to return to Jian!"

"Liu Dahu, a government soldier in the second year of Xianqing, was ordered to return to the construction!"

"........."

Under the old locust tree in the center of Zhuangzi, a heroic spirit soared to the sky, and the men of the village stood up with solid chests, like a long and indestructible national border, invincible in the world.

Behind them are women and children.

The little military officer took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the names of all the veterans. The hand that wrote the pen was trembling, obviously emotional.

After finishing writing, the little military officer raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Three days later, before a quarter of a hour, all the people in Weinan county government assembled and marched to the Beiying school ground in Gyeonggi. Those who delay the escape will be dealt with by military law!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Wei stood up and said in a deep voice, "Wei Chenfu, a soldier in the fourth year of Zhenguan, was ordered to return to Jian!"

The little military officer froze, and said with a bitter face: "Old Wei, why do you..."

Old Wei interrupted him, and said coldly, "Write it down!"

Old Wei's son anxiously stepped forward and grabbed him by the corner of his clothes: "Father!"

"Shut up for me, I'm not dead yet, it's your turn to interfere?"

The little military officer hesitated for a while, and finally wrote down Wei's name on the roster, and then sighed.

Li Qinzai stood in the crowd, looked at them with complicated expressions, and then silently bowed to them without saying a word.

No one saw him, Li Qinzai turned around and left after paying his respects.

This time, they are the protagonists.

When he turned around, he happened to see Liu Asi holding Qiao'er's little hand. They had been standing behind Li Qinzai just now.

Qiao'er was still sleepy and kept rubbing his eyes. Just now the little military officer Man Zhuangzi's beating of the gong obviously woke Qiao'er up, so Liu Ah Si brought him along.

Li Qinzai smiled at him, took his hand and walked towards the other courtyard.

On the way back, Qiao'er was puzzled and said, "Father, what are they doing? Why is everyone vying for that person's name?"

Li Qinzai sighed: "We have enemies in the Tang Dynasty, and the army summoned these veterans to the front to fight against the enemy."

Qiao'er was still puzzled and said, "Will you die if you hit the enemy?"

"will die."

"But why aren't they afraid of death?"

Li Qinzai was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "Because behind them are old people, women and children."

Qiao'er let out a groan, and walked forward in silence for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Is father also an old man, a woman and a child?"

Li Qinzai paused and remained silent for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Father is not an old man, nor is he a woman or child."

Qiao'er didn't ask any more questions. From Li Qinzai's expression, he seemed to have a premonition of something bad.

"Father, grandma once said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Father is already very powerful, so he will always accompany Qiao'er in the village, okay?" Qiao'er looked up at him.

The small hand in the palm of the hand suddenly tightened its strength, and Qiao'er held it very hard, for fear that the big hand holding him would suddenly disappear.

Li Qinzai showed his face and smiled: "Of course Dad will accompany Qiao'er and grow up with you all the time."
