Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 70 0066 [ideological work]

Zhong Mai is 22 years old this year. He lives in Chengnan Wharf and has an ancestral restaurant.

Although the life is not rich, it is more than enough compared to the poor.

The relationship between him and his sister-in-law is not good, because he doesn't like to help at home, so he hangs out with a group of sluts all day long.

Brother Chen said he was going to be an archer, so he followed.

I have no other ideas, just try something new, and taste what it's like to be a soldier and suppress bandits.

A few days ago, when besieging Zhu Zongdao, Zhong Mai played very well, and killed a thief with a make-up knife.Afterwards, he was so frightened that his legs and feet went weak, and then he was very excited, and he bragged to everyone that he had fought the three thieves.

The training that started yesterday made Zhong Mai complain endlessly.

For two consecutive days, he suffered a total of nine army sticks.Even if the military law team didn't beat him hard, his butt swelled up, and he got the nickname "Little Bird Man".

Zhong Mai was full of resentment and wanted to sneak away.

But the brothers who are usually good at playing don't leave. If he becomes a deserter, he will be laughed at in the future.

The resentment was all on Ju Ming's head.

What the hell?
They are all archers recruited, and they live in the south of the city, and the surname Zhu is just a countryman.Why should I be under his control?Why did he say that he was punished with military sticks?

Zhong Mai admitted in his heart that the young man surnamed Zhu was indeed a hero.

But a hero is a hero, so don't go too far!
Zhong Mai has already decided that if he is beaten again tomorrow, he will make a fuss no matter what he says.

"It's time for dinner, it's time for dinner!"

Alas, no matter how bitter my heart is, I still have to eat.

After practicing all day, Zhong Mai was really hungry, so he limped over to get his meal.

But I saw the straight-mother thief surnamed Zhu, who looked like a dog and was admonishing: "I have discussed it with Chen and Zhang. Since we are brothers, the food should be the same. The food for the three of us is the same. , Let the hand power be converted and exchanged for more soldiers' food, so that the brothers can eat more."

Chen Ziyi also said: "Vice-captains and ten generals, you can choose your own, you can eat the old meals, or you can eat with the brothers."

This is moral kidnapping. The three of them have already set an example. How can middle-level officers make a fuss?

One or two, all put their meals back and mix them with everyone.

Zhong Mai squatted aside and gorged himself. His butt hurt and he dared not sit still.After filling my stomach, I went back to the barracks, lying on the Datong shop and sighing.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

The bastard surnamed Zhu walked in and asked him with a smile: "Brother Zhong, how is it?"

Zhong Mai said angrily, "I can't die."

Zhu Ming walked up to him and said, "I paid for it myself. I bought some Dieda wine in the city. I quickly took off my pants and wiped them off."

Zhong Mai still lay on his stomach: "Just put it there, I can wipe it myself."

"I hurt my butt, how can I clean it myself? Take off your pants, and I'll help you." Zhu Ming said.

Zhong Mai didn't move, just lying there pretending to be dead, still contemptuous in his heart: You are the one who hit me, and you are the one who is a good person, so I don't care about your hypocrisy.

Zhu Ming asked in a kind tone: "Do you have resentment in your heart?"

Zhong Mai replied: "No."

At this time, several archers had already returned to their rooms. They greeted Zhu Ming one after another, and they supported him from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhu Ming said to the crowd: "The suppression of bandits is also a war, and it is inevitable that people will die in a war. I have never fought in a war before, and I suddenly became a capital. I took them to suppress thieves, but I couldn’t bring you back. Brothers, there are wives and children at home. Not to mention dying outside in battle, or missing an arm, how can I explain to your family?”

One of the archers said: "Don't talk about these things, Dutou, I will obey you. Dutou can eat meat and drink by himself, but he took us to the county government to make trouble. Isn't it because we can eat rice?"

"Yes, just based on this, I will listen to Dudu." Another archer echoed.

Zhu Ming asked the first shooter: "How many people are there in the family?"

Archer replied: "Counting the baby who is still nursing, there are nine people in my family."

Zhu Ming asked again: "How many acres of land does the family have?"

Archer replied: "More than 30 mu, most of which is mountainous land, and there is not much grain to grow. After the summer grain and autumn grain are paid, there are still many miscellaneous taxes to pay. The land at home is not enough for food. We have to farm a few more mu for the rich households." A good field for home."

"That was a lot of hard work." Zhu Ming said with emotion.

Another archer said: "My family is even more miserable. There are six people in my family, but only a dozen acres of poor land. Regardless of the slack or busy season, I have to do long-term or short-term labor. If I don't work for a day, I will starve to death. Originally, I chose Li Yuanwai's husband, but his family didn't want to send someone out, so they asked me to go on top. Li Yuanwai is kind and righteous, I work as an archer for a day, and I pay a day's wages as a part-time job."

Zhu Ming said: "It's not easy for brothers. They are the pillars of the family. If you have troubles, how will your wives and children live? I have strict rules and beat the army sticks at every turn, just to let you practice your skills. I went to Heifeng When suppressing bandits in the village, those who have the ability are always more likely to survive than those who are not. Is this the truth?"

"That's the reason!"

"Just hit the head, I can handle it!"

"..."

Zhong Mai was lying on the side listening, feeling that these peasants were fools, and they were dizzy after being uttered by a few words surnamed Zhu.

But it is undeniable that he also listened to it. The surname Zhu set the rules, not just to show his prestige.

Zhu Ming asked Zhong Mai again: "How many people are there in Brother Zhong's family?"

"Eight." Zhong Mai was already willing to communicate.

Zhu Ming asked again: "Have you ever married a wife and had children?"

Zhong Mai said: "There are all of them."

Zhu Ming followed him and said, "My sister-in-law is doing the housework, she must be very virtuous."

Thinking of his wife, Zhong Mai couldn't help but smile: "She is indeed virtuous, but she talks a lot on weekdays, and I have to read a few words when I do everything."

"This is my sister-in-law caring about Brother Zhong. It is really enviable to marry such a good wife." Ju Ming sighed.

The smile on Zhong Mai's face was even brighter, but he was still stubborn: "I am a man, I can do things myself, and I don't need a woman to take care of me."

Zhu Ming continued: "That being said, if Brother Zhong is killed by thieves, my sister-in-law will be so terrified that she will die of distress, wishing she could take a knife for Brother Zhong."

Zhong Mai smiled happily: "How can she be so good?"

Zhu Ming asked back: "Sister-in-law is not good to you, who else can be good to you? Brother Zhong is such a good man, how many people can you find in the whole Xixiang County? Sister-in-law is married, and she will definitely be devoted to Brother Zhong."

"I...I'm not that good either, everyone says I'm a libertine." Zhong Mai finally felt at ease, and was even a little embarrassed.

Zhu Ming took out the medicinal wine: "Take off your pants, I'll wipe them off for Brother Zhong."

Zhong Mai lisuo took off his trousers, and said, "I can do it myself, I don't have to worry about it."

While speaking, Zhu Ming had already poured the medicinal wine into his palm, pressed down on Zhong Mai's buttocks and began to rub.

Zhong Mai lay on the bunk and was very happy, how could he have any complaints?

After rubbing his bare buttocks for a while, Zhong Mai felt that he should find something to say: "I used to only obey Brother Chen, but now I also admire Dutou very much. I made a big fuss in the county government yesterday, and beat He Tiesi until his skin was blue and his face was swollen. , Although I didn't do it myself, I felt refreshed when I saw it."

"Since you are refreshed, you must practice hard in the future." Zhu Ming urged.

Zhong Mai immediately expressed his opinion: "If I don't practice well, just hit the board with my head, and if I yell that it hurts, I can't be called a hero!"

Zhu Ming smiled and said, "That's what you said. Although we are brothers, we enforce military laws without mercy."

Zhong Mai said: "If you break the rules, you should accept the punishment. I am also reasonable."

Chen Ziyi stood at the door and had been watching for a while.

He knew that Zhu Ming was buying people's hearts, but he didn't feel disgusted by it, but rather admired it.

If it were him, he would definitely not be so patient.

"Snapped!"

Zhu Ming patted his bare buttocks: "It's finished, go to bed early tonight, and practice tomorrow, I'll go to another barracks."

"I'll send you the capital." Zhong Mai said as he lifted his trousers.

After being sent to the door by Zhong Mai, Zhu Ming nodded and smiled at Chen Ziyi.

After Zhu Ming walked away, Chen Ziyi asked, "Does my butt still hurt?"

Zhong Mai said with a smile: "It doesn't hurt, the medicinal wine in Dutou is very useful, and I will buy some for home next time."

"It doesn't hurt?"

Chen Ziyi kicked over.

"Ouch!"

"Pain Pain Pain Pain..."

Zhong Mai clutched his buttocks, screaming in pain.

"Hahahaha!"

The archers in the room were gloating. Although they were very tired from training during the day, the atmosphere in the army became more and more harmonious.

That night, for all the soldiers who were punished, Zhu Ming went to wipe the medicinal wine himself, and took the opportunity to chat with the archers.

With such a move, in the eyes of the archers, even though Ju Ming has become the capital, he has never been superior, and he is still the good brother who led them to make trouble.It is for their own good to set the rules, and it is also for their own good to beat the army sticks. If they break the rules and get beaten, they deserve it.

Continuing to practice the next day, Zhong Mai summoned up his energy, fearing that he might not practice well enough and would be sorry for Zhu Dutou's painstaking efforts.

Seeing such a wonderful scene, Chen Ziyi walked up to Zhang Guangdao and couldn't help feeling: "I used to know how famous generals lead troops only in books. But what I saw in books is not as good as what I saw with my own eyes. Although I understand now, I don't know Can you learn it yourself?"

Zhang Guangdao said: "I don't care what famous generals are, I just know that people's hearts are made of flesh. If you treat people as brothers, others will treat you as brothers."

Chen Ziyi laughed and said, "You rebelled back then, but you also regarded Zhu Er as your brother."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Guangdao's face immediately became gloomy, and he didn't want to say a word to this guy.

Not to mention the two of them, even the hands who were sent to the school grounds to do odd jobs could clearly feel the changes here, and were extremely shocked by what happened before them.

In the afternoon of that day, someone ran to the county government office to report the situation of the school to the subordinate officials.

After listening to the report, Bai Chongwu and Six Case Posts were silent.

……

At night, Ju Ming has a habit of sitting on the school grounds and looking at the stars.

One is that I am not used to the taste of Datongpu, and the other is to find time to be quiet by myself.

He was so tired and mentally exhausted.

There are more than 300 people, and more than 200 soldiers are selected. Although I have some prestige, my qualifications are too weak.He had to take care of every victim, and he had to calm down every evening.

This shit is really not a human thing. Like Zhong Mai's thorny head, he would have kicked it before.Love to practice or not to practice!
The night wind blew, and Ju Ming was lying on his back in the middle of the school field.

Don't think about anything anymore, let your mind go with the flow, and want to sleep in a daze.

Suddenly, I really wanted to smoke a cigarette. My father still had Huazi, and I was reluctant to smoke the remaining two packs.

Although 300 people are so tired, in the future he may have to command hundreds of thousands of troops in the fight for hegemony, can he really handle it?
"Go to bed early, your eyes are bloodshot today." Zhang Guangdao's voice came.

Zhu Ming asked: "Is there a time when Brother Zhang couldn't hold on?"

Zhang Guangdao sat down cross-legged, played with small stones and said, "Zhu Er voted for the government and planned to ambush us. Brother Yao and I ran for our lives in a hurry. At the beginning, there were six or seventy people around us. After a few days of escape, there were only twenty or thirty people left. Yao Eldest brother is also like you, talking to everyone as soon as you stop. The way you look today reminds me of elder brother Yao."

"Unfortunately, your big brother Yao is gone, otherwise I really want to talk to him," Zhu Ming got up and said, "Let's go, go back to sleep."

(Old Wang has a bad habit of coding. He can’t write when he leaves home, so he can only bear the noise of decoration. There are information books on the entire wall, and he can check the information at any time, so he can’t take the books out. There is also smoking. I can’t write about smoking. There are two changes a day, one pack when it’s going well, and two packs when it’s not going well. The library and coffee shop are insulated from me.)
(Let’s just wait and see, Chapter 69 starts to find the rhythm, I don’t know how to change the previous ones.)
