Devil’s Advent

Compared with the eldest brother Tan Dayong who can put on armor and ride a horse to gather and prepare in the barracks, as younger brothers, Tan Eryong and Tan Xiaoyong are not so happy.

In fact, Father Tan is really a "respectable" person in Jin'anbao, and even he himself sighs, these years, he has really become a human being;

But this old farmer who was born as a field servant, the only achievement in his life is probably in farming. As for the others, he really has too many limitations.

As one of the "Four Officials" of Jin'anbao, even if he is a technical bureaucrat without administrative power, he still has a bit of a thin face.

For example, under the upsurge that everyone is eager to become a standard householder, Father Qin, who is already a standard householder, only asks his eldest son to be a standard householder according to the minimum standard of a householder, but treats his second and youngest sons completely. No arrangements.

Is he self-denial?

Really not.

After all, it is too common for fathers and sons to be brothers and soldiers in the bidding households. Not only can he receive the ration and welfare quota of the bidding households, but he can also receive the salary of the agricultural officer errands in his body, plus the farmland allocated and contracted by his family output;

With three incomes that are too stable to be stable, it is completely affordable to equip the second and youngest sons with armor, knives, and horses.

Invite Xiaowei Zhang from Jin'anbao to have a meal of wine. The two younger sons can catch up quickly, and strive to have a place for each large gathering. When the real battle starts, they can fight with them Elder brother also has the same qualifications to join the army;

Unfortunately,

Old Qin didn't think of this at all, he just didn't have the brain.

Lao Tzu from another family’s Biaohu taught his son horsemanship and martial arts when he was not an adult, and let him get used to riding and shooting.

Most of them are veterans, and they are also the first batch of people who eat crabs, and they know the benefits of bidders.

But the standard household system, once the family is separated, the descendants will be gone, and the approval will be very strict, and it will only be passed on to the heir who became the standard household soldier and went to the battlefield. Less than benefits.

Back then on the battlefield, Zheng Fanzhi asked the Juggernaut to do things for him, and made a promise that Jindong would not collect poll tax in the future.

Although this was just a pretext, even the Sword Master knew that Zheng had planned to abolish this tax, so the Sword Master never took credit for it.

In the eyes of Blind Man and Sister Niang, the poll tax is a very bad tax type, in essence, it is a waste of money;

Not only will it cause a large number of people to hide, but it will also directly lead to the formation of the custom of "drowning infants".

The poll tax is gone, but the household registration tax is there, because most people in eastern Jin have their household registrations tied to land.

Therefore, according to the law of the palace, if the family is an only child, then there is no need to divide the family;

And if there are other males in the family, when they reach a certain age, if they are not disabled, they must separate and open separate accounts, reclaim land, and at the same time bear the responsibility of taxation.

Therefore, the standard household veterans eagerly hope that their special treatment can continue and spread.

Those families who are not standard households are staring at the treatment of the standard households in the village all year round, and their hala is about to flow out. Whenever there is a chance, they will let their men get it as soon as possible.

Only Father Qin,

In a daze, he just missed the best opportunity.

This made Qin Eryong and Qin Xiaoyong rush to the southeast continuously, exhausting themselves to the extreme.

Auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands are moved wherever they need to be. They are the largest group on the battlefield, but they seem to have the least sense of presence.

After resting for a day, we started to build the camp.

It was only from Shi Chang's mouth that they knew that the two brothers were following the team and were approaching Zhennan Pass.

The two brothers stayed in Xuehaiguan when they were young, and after arriving in Jin'an Fort, the eldest brother would go out when gathering, and the father would go to Fengxin City for meetings from time to time. As for the two brothers, they basically never went out of Jin'an Fort.

Zhennan Pass...

It's a pity that the two brothers didn't have the opportunity to go south to see the elegance of the grand pass, and they were immediately overwhelmed by heavy labor.

Auxiliary Auxiliary Auxiliary Bing means to play auxiliary;

When the main soldiers need to supplement and cooperate with soldiers and horses, the auxiliary soldiers go;

When civilian husbands need to supplement and cooperate with labor, they still go to auxiliary soldiers;

Fortunately, although Father Tan was confused in planning his son's future, after all, the family had a good life, and the two youngest sons ate well and looked strong. After the hard work at the beginning, they quickly got used to it.

The stockade is set up, but in fact the stockade is a bit rough.

The corporal leader said that a serious military stronghold is much more rigorous and solid than this, but this is usually done by the regular soldiers themselves, and the auxiliary soldiers can only fight.

this day,

The Qin brothers' team was dispatched to a fort. From a distance, this fort was no different from Jin'an Fort, but when they got closer, they discovered that there was actually a city wall here.

In the city, the granary is towering.

The two brothers who came from village households were dumbfounded.

Qin Xiaoyong even exclaimed:

"My God, how much food must be stored here."

The Qin family is now considered to be a farmer's family. There is also a small barn in the house, which is full of joy of harvest and confidence in the future.

But the happiness of small farmers and small households,

When faced with this one, no, this one is huge and majestic, one can only be shocked to the ground.

The two brothers have memories of being hungry when they were young, and they have awe of food in their bones, but this kind of awe is too indescribable.

At this moment, teams are constantly transporting food into it, and at the same time, they are constantly moving food out from here.

Originally, the logistics location of Zhennanguan, and even the logistics transfer of the first stage of the following entire campaign, was here.

"What are you doing in a daze, come on, don't fall behind!"

"yes."

The Tan family brothers were called to follow Shangguan in.

Inside, there are a large area of ​​human-drawn carts and many animal-drawn carts.

Two brothers, Qin Eryong and Qin Xiaoyong, Er Yong put the rope around his shoulders and began to pull, while Xiaoyong helped maintain balance and pushed together in the back.

The team loaded with food returned to the empty camp they had set up earlier.

Transporting food is a real physical task. After it was transported in, the Shangguan asked everyone to rest.

The Tan family brothers returned to their own tent, and some military doctors began to distribute herbal juice and gauze.

The army is divided into ranks, and soldiers can be allocated the best medicines for wounds, etc. The civilian husbands and auxiliary soldiers can only use the next-level herbal juice. Many people are inexperienced in transporting food today, and there are blood marks on the palms and shoulders. , must be dealt with.

Xiaoyong helped his second brother apply herbal medicine,

Under the stimulation of the herbal juice, Er Yong clenched his teeth from time to time to take a breath, but still kept admiring;

"Mother, with so much food, our family can't eat it all in ten lifetimes."

"Hey." Xiaoyong laughed along with him, "Second brother, with so much food, how many soldiers and horses can this supply?"

"You have to ask elder brother about this, I can't figure it out." Er Yong is very self-aware, "But if elder brother knows that there is so much food here, and they are fighting ahead, he should feel at ease."

Xiaoyong echoed: "Yes, just like Dad said, there is food, so don't panic if you encounter anything."

...

After resting all night, the camp started to get busy the next morning. The main thing to do was to bury the pot for cooking and steam the steamed buns.

There are no special gang leaders here, but in the auxiliary barracks and the civilian husband's camp, there are really very few people who can't cook, and the most important thing is... they don't need to cook so deliciously.

Kneading the noodles, boiling the water, and putting the steamer on the steamer are all busy.

During this period, it is natural to steal some by myself, especially the "stuffed" steamed buns created by the prince, which are the most popular.

However, even the superiors turn a blind eye to this kind of "stealing". Now you can eat as much as you can, as long as you don't hide it.

After all, generally speaking, according to the military customs in Eastern Jin, when the team gathers, they have to eat a big meal;

The next time you can have a big meal, it's time for bloody battles.

afternoon

Soldiers and horses came from the north, and the food here was ready.

"Hey, is it a savage?"

Qin Xiaoyong had sharp eyes and shouted first.

"This should be what the elder brother said, the savage servants recruited by the prince from the snowfield." Qin Eryong said.

There are also savages in Eastern Jin, and there are actually all military forts. The largest gathering point of savages is in Fancheng.

Among the savages, there are also standard households, but most of them are ordinary households;

Generally speaking, savages are the lowest in the ranks of big guys, and it is common for them to be bullied and excluded.

The higher-ups in the palace knew this well, but they didn't deliberately ask the officials below to care and love the savages more, they only asked for equality in the law;

The wild households also understand their status, and they are also very interesting at the bottom when offering sacrifices and going to the market. Over the past few years of integration, people who look up and look down have never had group sex like in the beginning. Vicious incidents against wildlings;

In addition, everyone who is a "folk from the village" doesn't look up and look down, so they don't bother to continue to blush.

The social dramas in the fortress also often stage some plays about savages. In the plays, the misery and helplessness of ordinary people in the face of natural disasters and the exploitation of savage leaders and nobles are shown, and they strive to win the resonance of other people;

After all, before the prince came to Jindong to create this "Xanadu", most of the people here also lived the same miserable life of displacement;

In the play, it was the prince who appeared and rescued these savage people who lived in poverty and were enslaved, and gave them food and fields, which was very appropriate and consistent.

This is not excessive whitewashing and modification. After all, the army of savages who entered the pass, burned, killed and looted were basically wiped out after being blocked by the prince on the retreat route of Xueguan;

Most of the rest of the captives were spent on the repair project of Xueguan, so it can be said that there are many corpses.

Some of the savages in eastern Jin were taken by captivity, and some were migrated in by themselves. In short, they were all absorbed by eastern Jin actively to supplement the labor force.

But the savages who appeared at this time were riding horses with bows and arrows on their backs. Although they seldom had armor, and the knives, bows and arrows looked a bit broken, the aura of primitive savages was still too heavy, which made people feel a little uncomfortable. Fit.

At least, Qin Eryong and Qin Xiaoyong thought so.

After all, the children of the savage households in their fort also go to school, and they don't keep savage hairstyles, and their clothes are also made from Yan or called Xiafeng.

Captain Yan Jun from the camp went forward to negotiate, and shortly thereafter, wildling servants and soldiers began to enter the camp. They were like packs of hungry wolves, smelling the scent and coming over.

One bowl of broth per person, two big steamed buns with stuffing, this is definitely not enough to eat, and the rest, topped with naan, fine flour, it is impossible to open the supply.

"Come on, Mantou, don't worry, line up, line up."

"You, two, you, also two."

Qin Eryong and Qin Xiaoyong were arranged to distribute steamed buns.

The steamed buns in the steamer in front of them were finished, and the brothers moved them up from the back.

"Mother, I'm starving to death."

"Yes, young master."

Qin Eryong was a little surprised. The steamed buns that were handed out earlier heard the "bird language" of these savages. It was rare to meet someone who could speak Xiayu so fluently.

This savage is still wearing armor, and it is the standard armor of the Jindong Army. Some savages around him are also wearing armor. This equipment, among the savage servants, can be described as extremely luxurious.

"Come on, two of yours." Tan Xiaoyong handed over two steamed buns.

"How can two be enough?"

The Jia savage threw the two steamed buns in his hand back onto the steamer, then stretched out his hand, picked up the whole steamer, and said to his side:

"Come on, eat slowly. Let me tell you, only the steamed buns with stuffing in Jindi are really delicious. I like to send people to Xuehaiguan to buy them and eat them."

Qin Eryong and Qin Xiaoyong hurried forward to stop,

Qin Xiaoyong shouted;

"One person can only take two, you take too much, you take too much."

Hearing this, the barbarian laughed and said:

"Hey, my lord is a generous person. It's nothing if I eat a few more steamed buns from my lord. Get out of the way. Grandpa, I'm hungry, so I don't have time to talk to you."

"The Shangguan has an order, two steamed buns for one person!"

"Fuck you, what are you, you dare to order me? Do you know who I am?"

A confidant next to him hurriedly introduced:

"Open your eyes and take a good look, this is the young master of our Hailan Department!"

Qin Eryong immediately said: "No one is allowed, this is a military law and must be obeyed."

"I'm hungry, what are you talking about here!"

The savage Jia kicked Qin Eryong to the ground.

Seeing his second brother being beaten, Tan Xiaoyong immediately rushed forward:

"How dare you beat someone, how dare you beat someone!"

A few cronies around Yeren Jia made a move to set up Tan Xiaoyong, face down, and threw it out with a "plop".

The movement here suddenly disturbed many people nearby.

Hyland snorted disdainfully, and walked out holding the steamer indifferently.

He has the confidence,

His father was the first savage tribe to take refuge in the prince, and he was deeply trusted by the palace;

His two elder brothers have all served as personal soldiers by the prince's side. The eldest brother has returned to the tribe now, and the second brother is working as an errand in Fengxin City;

The savage slaves outside the pass are usually organized by the Hailan Department, and then they are bound to enter the pass to obey the prince's military order. His father was ill a while ago, and the elder brother had to take care of the family affairs, so he was responsible for leading the first group. A group of servants came in.

Anyway, what happened to Hyland eating a few steamed buns? Is this a problem?

"Bah, blind thing,"

...

"I thought you would miss it, but it is the prince who loves you."

"Brother, look at what you said, doesn't your father love you? If your father doesn't love you, you've been doing such nonsense on the Weihe River. If you were someone else, you would have been punished."

"Hahaha, to tell you the truth, brother, I dared to indulge myself like this because I was sure that our prince would not be willing to beat me with a stick, haha."

Chen Xianba is wearing a golden armor, this set of armor was given by the late emperor when the prince made him a marquis, and now he has given it to Chen Xianba by the prince.

And who is the young man in silver armor next to Chen Xianba, if not Tian Tian?

"By the way, Brother, when will Wang Jia arrive?"

"It should take a few more days. My father has to deal with some affairs in Fengxin City before he can go on the expedition with confidence, so he sent me to set up the Xingyuan first."

"Okay, when the lord arrives, you go and talk to the lord, let the lord transfer you to my army as my lieutenant general, and my brother promises that I can lead you to kill to the fullest."

"Father has his own arrangements."

"My lord loves you. Go beg. If there is no reason not to agree, just say that you haven't seen me for a long time and you want to spend more time with me."

Shaking his head every day, he said: "Brother, I think if I take the initiative to ask my father for this matter, it is very likely that my father will transfer you back to the handsome tent as a personal soldier, so that you can always be with me, brother, you Would you like to?"

"this……"

The two walked while talking;

At this time, the noise ahead caught the attention of the two.

"What's going on?" Chen Xianba frowned and asked.

Noise and noise are the most taboo in the army, because sometimes a careless mistake or a small misunderstanding may cause a mutiny.

At this time, a soldier stepped forward to report the whole story.

...

The current situation is that because the brothers of the Tan family were beaten, the auxiliary soldiers did not distribute food, so they gathered together, and Hyland also had a lot of cronies around him, and the two sides had already started pushing and shoving.

Hyland was still eating steamed buns, not taking it seriously.

at this time,

A silver-armored young general rushed straight into the crowd, lunged forward, and directly knocked away the two cronies on Hyland's side, then reached out, grabbed Hyland's neck, and knocked him to the ground;

"boom!"

Hyland fell into the mud, and at the same time heard the sound of the person on his body drawing a knife.

"Violating military law, refusing to change what you are taught, taking the initiative to provoke, and attacking Paoze, you will be punished with death!"

Tiantian's voice was full of aura, and the sound wave became higher and farther away under the blessing of Qi and blood. For a while, the originally noisy and shoving surroundings suddenly stopped.

However, Hyland's cronies were going to snatch their young master back, but they suddenly found that there were many more regular soldiers of the Yan Army around them, and they dared not move for a moment.

When Hyland, who was pressed to the ground, heard that this person wanted to "kill" him,

In an instant, the previous calmness was gone.

immediately shouted;

"You can't kill me, my father is the leader of the Hailan tribe, and I am the son of the leader of the Hailan tribe!!!"

"puff!"

knife,

without stopping for the slightest,

wiped Hyland's neck,

Because the hair was being pulled, the head was lifted up, and after the blade slashed, blood gushed out from the wound directly, splashing high;

Hyland's eyes were full of horror and disbelief,

He really didn't expect that one day he would lose his life because of eating a few more steamed buns...

"I,

He is the son of the Regent. "
