Song Dynasty

Chapter 70 Wu Constitution Wu Tuo ([-])

With a "Hula", almost at the same time, all the soldiers in the room jumped out of their backs reflexively, stood barefoot on the ground, put their fingers together and stuck them to the outside of their thighs, and stood up straight with their heads up and chest out.

Wu Xianxian wanted to win among his companions, so instead of jumping up quickly, he glanced lazily at Chen Da and groped for a long time on the ground beside him, trying to put on his shoes.

At this moment, with a "swoosh", the slender white wax strip in Chen Da's hand was drawn onto his vest.

This stroke was so painful, it was as if it had been burned by a burning iron. Wu Xianxian endured the pain, stood up with a bang, and stared at Chen Da viciously.

"Soldier, what's your name?"

"My name is……"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" another whip, Chen Da's face came close, spit out a cluster of saliva, and shouted: "Soldier, you have to tell the officer before you speak, do you understand?"

"Okay... Si!"

Another whip: "Answer, yes, sir, understand, sir!"

Wu Xianxian was so angry that his eyes were almost red, he just wanted to grab the bone that was leaning against the wall and smash it hard on Chen Da's head, smashing the white pulp out.But, no, if I do it now, I won't be able to escape at all, and I won't trade my life for my life!

Let's bear with him today.

He replied loudly: "Yes, sir, understand, sir!"

"Soldier, what's your name?"

"Report sir, my name is Wu Constitution."

"Soldier Wu Constitution, let me ask you, what was the order of the officer just now?"

"Report sir, stand up!"

"Very good, what should I do if I don't obey the order?"

Wu Xianxian immediately lay down on the ground: "Return to the words of the officer, two hundred push-ups, don't bother you, I will do it myself. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..." Then he quickly did it, doing it while using Looking at Chen Da with provocative eyes, he sneered in his heart: When grandpa used to hang out on the street, he only knew how to beat his muscles all day long, and a mere two hundred push-ups and push-ups couldn't fix me.

"You know the rules, that's good." Chen Da nodded, then looked back at Wu Tuo: "Soldier, what's your name?"

"Report sir, soldier Wu Tuo." Wu Tuo was holding the wooden basin in his hand, and he didn't let it go, and he didn't let it go.

"What are you doing?" Chen Da asked.

"Sir, soldier Wu Tuo is pouring footwashing water for soldier Wu Constitution."

Hearing this, Wu Xianxian, who was doing push-ups, was taken aback. He vaguely felt a little bad, and sweat oozed from his forehead.He remembered that according to the military system, there seemed to be a rule that soldiers must live in harmony and not bully others.This officer surnamed Chen obviously has bad intentions towards me, so he decided to use this matter to torment Lao Tzu.Two hundred push-ups are okay, but another two hundred will definitely kill me.Damn, Wu Tuo, you birdman, are you so honest that you don't know what to say, or are you trying to trick me?
"Very good, I know pouring the footwashing water to please people." Chen Da sneered: "Does anyone else have no hands or feet? Wu Tuo, I order you, immediately put the wooden basin on Wu Xianxian's back, two hundred push ups."

"Yes, sir." Wu Tuo put the wooden basin on Wu Xianxian's back, and immediately got down on the ground: "One, two, three, four, five, six..."

Poor Wu Xianxian put a basin of water on his back. It was extremely difficult to do these two hundred push-ups. In a short while, stinky black water kept spilling out and poured on his head and back.

Seeing him in such a mess, the other soldiers wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and it was very hard to hold back.

After finally finishing the two hundred push-ups, Wu Xianxian seemed to be fished out of the water.

That's all for Chen Da, he glanced at everyone viciously, and shouted: "If anyone still doesn't understand, let me say it again, my name is Chen Da, a military judge under the command of General Daosi, King of the Sizhou Camp, my task is to punish people, my pleasure It's also a trick. After entering the barracks, we will get along day and night from now on, and I will let you understand what it means not to live and not to die. Disband and go to bed."

After finishing speaking, he waved the white wax stick in his hand and walked out triumphantly.

"Huh" At this moment, Wu Xianxian let out a long breath and collapsed on the ground.

A comrade-in-arms came over, picked up the wooden basin from Wu Xianxian's vest, which had lost any strength, put it aside, and asked, "Brother Ang, are you okay?"

"Go away, I won't die, so don't worry about it." Wu Xianxian angrily stripped off his wet clothes and shrank into his back.

Then he looked at Wu Tuo with fierce eyes: "My surname is Wu, I'm cold and tired now, but I don't have time to pay attention to you. Just now, the surname Chen is right. After entering the barracks, we will get along day and night in the future. I will let you Understand what it means not to live and not to die."

Wu Tuo was an honest farmer, his face was pale with fright, and he stood there looking like he wanted to cry.

Someone came to persuade: "Brother Ang, they are all my brothers, forget it, forget it."

"What is my brother, I don't know who he is."

At this time, there was another conch sound, which was the light-off signal.

According to the rules in the army, you are not allowed to speak after the lights are turned off.Everyone shut their mouths hastily, and someone blew out the oil lamp again.

The room fell into darkness, and the entire barracks fell silent.

The ears couldn't adapt to this silence for a while, but they could clearly hear the sound of blood flowing inside.

"It's only been one day, and I'm exhausted like a dog. I can't live through this day." Lying on the bed, Wu Xianxian was burning with anger, which could not be calmed down for a long time: "If you are his mother, I would have known that this life as a soldier would be like this." Like a bird, it would be better to stay in my hometown at the beginning! Even if you die under the knife of Hebei people and Jurchen Tartars, you can't control so many."

"But... it's better to live than to die!"

He is from Xuzhou, Jiangbei. His father is a scholar. He is not good at reading.Wu Constitution probably inherited his father's characteristics. Although he studied in a private school since he was a child, his academic performance was ridiculously poor.By the age of 12, his father kicked his legs due to debts, and he began to hang out on the streets.

The area around Xuzhou was the site of the Four Wars. The Jurchens came to fight, the bandits came to fight, and the officers and soldiers came to fight. In order to escape, he fled to the south with the refugees.

From Xuzhou to Jiangnan is more than a thousand miles, and the journey along the way has been extremely painful.If it wasn't for his cleverness and fierceness, he might have died on the road.

Just last month, when he fled to Shouchun, he had been hungry for ten days, and he was only breathing, and he was about to become a starved person on the road.At this time, Wang Shen's men came over and took out food to recruit troops.In order to survive, many young and middle-aged refugees signed up for the army.

Wu Xianxian thought about it, he would eat food as a soldier, and be a soldier on food, and he would go there for a while before talking about it.

However, as soon as he thought of being clever, he didn't run over rashly, but observed carefully for a long time.

Only then did I realize that something was wrong. This recruiting team did not blindly accept strong men like others, but paid more attention to the character and character of the soldiers.Only accept the kind of honest peasants, no matter how good the martial arts are, the clever ones will not be accepted.

This makes people confused, honest people, honest people, honest people like me may not even be able to stand on the battlefield, let alone kill people. Isn't it a waste of rice to take them into the army?
Doubts belong to doubts, but Wu Xianxian still tore his clothes, wiped his face with mud, pretended to be a simple and honest person who couldn't fart in three sentences, and successfully became an ordinary soldier in the Sizhou camp .

The facts are exactly as he thought, General Wang Daosi is confused, these honest soldiers are of no use at all.When I was in Huaixi, as soon as I met a woman and the scouts of the Hebei signing army, no matter how many people there were, they dispersed in an instant.

In the past month, the team has gathered and dispersed, only caring about fleeing for their lives, and have not fought a single battle.

It's all right now, I finally escaped to the south of the Yangtze River, and I don't have to be chased like a dog by the tartars.

I thought that good days were coming, but I never expected that the training of the army would be so hard, bad luck, really bad luck!

……

Wu Xianxian has been in the streets since he was a child. He is brave and ruthless, and he has good nutrition, so his physical fitness is naturally not a problem.

In the morning, I ran down the six miles, relaxed and happy.

But the queue training in the morning was miserable, especially the standing posture. If I stood motionless for an hour, my whole body would become stiff.As soon as many people disbanded, they fell to the ground.

He was also so tormented that his whole body was limp, and the next queue training was also annoying.Turn left, turn right, column, horizontal, it was fine at the beginning, but after practice, the whole person was confused.Usually, when the officers shouted and marched to the left, the troops would huddle together and the chaos could not be more chaotic.

The consequences are naturally serious. After doing two hundred push-ups, it seems that Zhi Niang's arms are not his own.

It turns out that soldiers are trained like this!
While Wu Xianxian was eye-opening, he was also puzzled: just by standing at attention, taking a rest, and walking in unison, the enemy can be killed. Could it be that when encountering Jurchen Tartars, just walking forward like this can kill them? ?
This kind of boring practice is better for other farm children. Could it be more annoying than working in the field?
"But I'm not a farmer, nor an idiot, why would I do that? Isn't that stupid?"

"If my companions who used to hang out on the street saw it, and they didn't laugh at me to death, where would I put my face?"

"This shitty army can't stay anymore, I have to find a chance to escape. I don't believe it, there is no place for living people in this world?"

"This place in the south of the Yangtze River is really good. If you escape, with my cleverness and means, there are plenty of ways to grow."

Thinking of this, Wu Xianxian thought of leaving.

According to the regulations of the army, if there is no war, every fifteen days, each department will take a half-day vacation in batches.At that time, it is time for Lao Tzu to take off his military uniform and endure it for half a month.

But... the food here is good, and there are new clothes and new quilts, so I really want to leave, I am a little reluctant!

Strange to say, he didn't even fall asleep after being tired all day.

Turning over, he saw that Wu Tuo on the bunk next to him was still awake, wrapped in a quilt and leaning against the wall with his eyes wide open.

Seeing him and remembering the scene just now, hatred surged in Wu Xianxian's heart.

He drank in a low voice: "Don't make any noise."

Wu Tuo was full of doubts: "Wu... Brother Wu, I didn't call you!"

"You're going to scream soon." Wu Xianxian smiled ferociously, jumped up suddenly, pulled up the quilt and covered Wu Tuo's head, and rained down his fists.

While beating, he yelled and cursed in a low voice: "I'm calling you to punish me, I'm calling you to punish me."
