Chapter 8
There is a saying that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, maybe it is a blessing rather than a curse, Zuo Houde wanted to escape this conscription, but he did not escape.

On July [-]th, the conscription has been going on enthusiastically, and it has been more than ten days, and I think it has come to an end.

Of course, Zuo Houde didn't pay much attention to this conscription since he knew that it had nothing to do with him.

Unexpectedly, an elder came to the family this day.

"Old uncle, why are you here? If you have something to do, just send someone to let me know. Why come in person? Rong'er serves tea for old uncle." Zuo Jizu was not at home, so Zuo Houde took on the task of entertaining the elders.

This old uncle is the elder from Zuo Houde's clan who got married last time, and he is very close to Zuo Houde's family.

"I came here this time to ask you something."

"I don't know what's going on? But I don't know much about the family affairs. It's my father who is taking care of everything. Otherwise, I'll call my father back." Zuo Houde asked
The old uncle waved his hand, "It has nothing to do with your father. A few days ago, Lieutenant Cao from the conscription department came to the clan and said that he asked our Zuo family to help introduce some military doctors. It just so happens that you are studying medicine. I came here to think about it." Do you have any intention?"

"Uncle, I am the only son in my family. I have never paid attention to this matter of conscription." Zuo Houde frowned, but still expressed his attitude.

"You child, although this military doctor has something to do with the conscription, he did not join the army. According to Lieutenant Cao, there are enough soldiers for this conscription, but there are not enough military doctors in this battalion. If you enter the military camp, It’s not the same as recruits. You are considered an officer, and you are better than you are now in terms of salary and prospects.”

Zuo Houde still frowned, just about to say something.

The old uncle said again, "I went to the South Camp in the outer city, which is only more than ten miles away from the south of the city. Although soldiers are not allowed to enter and leave the barracks at will, you military doctors spend ten and a half months, and you still have time to go home and visit your relatives. What's more, The military doctor is guarding the logistics, and he can still put you in danger."

"Uncle, I still need to discuss it with my father." Zuo Houde clasped his fists and said seriously.

"Okay, if you are interested, just come and let me know." After speaking, the old uncle left with a cane.

Only then did Rong'er come out from the back room, "Husband, what's the matter with uncle?"

Only then did Zuo Houde tell his wife the matter, wanting to hear her opinion.

"This matter, I still have to make up my own mind, why don't we discuss it together after my father comes back."

At night, the family gathers in the backyard.

Zuo Houde told his father what the old uncle said in the afternoon, and wanted to hear his opinion.

Zuo Jizu frowned, and when he heard that there was no danger, he relaxed his brows.

"My uncle has always taken good care of our family. It seems that this is not a bad thing, but you are newlyweds, and you are about to part, but you have to make up your own mind."

It was late at night, and Zuo Houde was still thinking about the feasibility of the matter. To be honest, Zuo Houde really wanted to try it, not to mention that he had only read about this military camp in his previous life, but he had never seen it in this life. .

Furthermore, if you don't have to worry too much about safety, there are a few men who can refuse this hot-blooded military camp and battlefield.

Blood has nothing to do with age. It is true that "veterans never die, they just fade away."

However, this newlywed Yaner really made people fall into a tender place.

"Xiao Rong'er, I plan to go to the barracks."

"As long as the husband thinks about it, I have no objection, but this military camp is not a good place after all, so the husband should be very careful." Xiao Rong'er leaned on Zuo Houde's chest, carefully exhorting.

Zuo Houde hugged his wife in his arms tightly, "I'm not at home, Rong'er can do some needlework with her mother and the others. Although those three aunts and six women like to talk about homework, they are all very kind elders."

"The slave family knows that it's late at night, so let's rest quickly."

……

On the second day,
Zuo Houde went to the clan and told the old uncle the news.

"Although the military camp is difficult, the future is boundless. Let's go, sir, and the family members don't have to worry."

As the old uncle said, he talked to Zuo Houde about some military matters, Zuo Houde should pay attention to these.

Zuo Houde clarified the affairs of the clan, and then rushed to the pharmacy, and had to talk to the teacher about entering the military camp.

July [-]th, sunrise, excellent.

The mother and Zuo Houde packed up their clothes, took some home-made dried meat, and brought the usual medical tools.Zuo Jizu forged a sharp sword for Zuo Houde from the iron shop, and only asked him to keep it by his side for protection.

Zuo Houde didn't have the nerve to tell him that the sword was too light.

The wife didn't give anything, but the indescribable concern in her eyes.

Conscription Department Yamen,
Twenty or thirty men are all in toga gowns with big sleeves and carrying a medicine box. Zuo Houde is among them, looking extraordinarily young, and most of the rest are men in their 40s and [-]s.Apart from a few people, Zuo Houde knew most of them. After all, people in the same industry were also acquaintances.

That's right, this group of people will be the military doctors in the barracks in the future.

None of this batch of military doctors was too old to withstand the exhaustion of running around in the barracks.

A group of people arrived, and two teams of elite soldiers in armor escorted the military doctors to the barracks.

The address of the barracks is not placed in the city or in the wild as people imagine.

In ancient times, the city was built and divided into inner city and outer city.The inner city is called "City" and the outer city is called "Kuo".The system of city outline is the main form of ancient city construction.

In fact, the use of the inner city and the outer city by different dynasties is roughly the same. The outer city mainly builds fortifications and thickens the city walls to protect the entire city.Like the so-called moat in ancient times, it is outside the outer city wall.

Of course, you can’t see the moat in Youzhou City, it’s already frozen.

The army is also mostly stationed in the outer city, like the ancient certain army occupied the city or dedicated the city, that is, the outer city.Of course, the outer city is gone, and the inner city cannot be defended.

But now, the Nan Daying that Zuo Houde is going to is a military camp in the outer city.

Because Zuo Houde didn't pay much attention to conscription, he saw a very kind-hearted old man next to him.This is Dr. Zhang from Xingrentang, called Zhang Shiqian.Zuo Houde once drank tea with him.

"Brother Zhang, isn't it 20 for this conscription? How can our twenty or thirty doctors be enough?"

"It turned out to be Brother Zuo. Although the Prince conscripted 20 soldiers to rule the 5th Prefecture of Yanyun, Youzhou may have less than 5 people. These [-] people are divided into four camps. There are more than ten thousand people, plus there are military doctors in the barracks themselves, we are just starting a fight."

Soon arrived at the South Camp, Zuo Houde looked around, the entire military camp was well planned and well organized.The barracks and courtyards are also well arranged.The grounds for training soldiers are also neatly divided, first of all, each part has its own camp.

Here I also want to talk about the difference between military camps. This military camp is divided into marching military camps and garrison military camps. The former is a temporary camp built during marching and fighting.The barracks are usually stationed after the scouts in front or the cavalry in the pond report that they are safe.

There are also strict requirements for the geographical location of the military camp.Generally, it depends on the distance between the two armies fighting, whether it is convenient to transport food, and whether it is convenient for the troops behind to support.

Generally speaking, the soldiers in the barracks are only a part of the soldiers, and a small part of the soldiers will be stationed behind, waiting for the cavalry to notify them at any time if they need support.

The second is to pitch tents and fences.After the military camp decides to be stationed, it is to set up tents, build walls and take precautions. These two are generally carried out in no order, and are carried out at the same time.Pitching a tent doesn't involve collecting wood on site, as we might think.

When marching, there will be a team that is responsible for delivering the rope and the wood needed to build the tent.About five people transported the materials needed for a tent, and when they arrived at the military camp, several people built their own tents. Since there was no need to find raw materials and the division of labor was clear, it was very fast to set up a tent.

The latter is a camp like Nan Daying that has repaired the barracks and only waited for the garrison.Generally built in the outer city, in addition to training soldiers, the guards on the city walls also live in such garrison barracks.

Such a barracks is actually not like a barracks during a march or a battle.The garrison barracks have their own barracks, and the conditions are good.

Of course, even in the state of combat and marching.Most troops still hope to live in fixed barracks, at least in civilian houses.That is to say, a "house number" is needed.Let the former army scouts take a step ahead and reserve the houses needed for the army's camp at the market ahead.This is also the biggest crime for the ancient army to disturb the people.
