Chapter 384
The fifth update is available, with 400 monthly tickets added!
Xiao Hei is eighteen this year, but he is already an old man.
He was from Changbai Township, Zhangqiu. He was originally an orphan boy. Later, Luo Cheng chose to be a Changbai Township. He followed Luo Cheng from the township to the county camp and then to the military palace to suppress bandits and pacify the bandits, and then went north to Zhuo County to go out to conquer Liao. He fought one after another. He had good luck in a few years. He was neither blind nor lame, and his life was still there.
However, compared with many of the village comrades who once joined the army, Xiao Hei had mediocre military achievements, and to be honest, he was a little timid. When others charged forward with fearlessness, he always shrank a little. So even Du Fuwei and Fu Gonghu, who were only sixteen years old, have now become deputy generals in the first rank. When he was at the sixth rank, he was still just a deputy team member.
It is the position of this team as a deputy, but it is actually because of his seniority. Otherwise, with his performance, he wouldn't be able to become a deputy team, and it would probably be almost the same as being a deputy.
At first, Xiao Hei was a sword and card soldier. Later, because of his poor performance and lack of ability, the sword and card player who jumped into formation was not suitable for him, so he changed to a crossbow player.
But the little black crossbow shot too much, so he changed to a spearman.
The 200 young men who joined the village group at that time are still alive, and half of them are still alive. Among them, half of them are still in Changbai Mountain, Zhangqiu. Most of them have never died or been disabled in the previous bandit suppression. The best of these old brothers are Du Fuwei Fu Gonghu, Luo Qiluo Jiu and others, not to mention Luo Cheng's brother-in-law and brother-in-law.
These people are either generals or deputy generals, or at least partial generals. At the worst, they are basically scrambled to be the camp lieutenant and deputy generals.
Only Xiao Hei, who is still a lieutenant of the team, and he stays in the most unpromising infantry battalion spear team.
But Xiao Hei was very satisfied with his current situation. After all, a few years ago, he was an orphan who ate a hundred families of food and wore a hundred families of clothes. He barely starved to death with the help of his clan villagers. Although his position is not high now, the biggest advantage of the Luo family army is that it has good welfare benefits.
Even if you fail to kill generals and flags on the battlefield, the Luo family army emphasizes collective military merits. As long as you are not a deserter, even if you kill few people on the battlefield, you will definitely have a lot of contributions, and this reward has never been short.
It’s just that it’s not brave enough, after all, it’s difficult to improve, but the reward is quite large.
Many fellow villagers received rewards and were more generous when spending money. After the rewards or the spoils were distributed, these people would spend money to go to the women's camp for two times, or wait for their vacation to buy wine and meat together to enjoy a meal, but Xiao Hei was reluctant to spend money like this.
Every time he gets his money, he always takes a fraction of it in his hand, and then the integer is placed in the army, so he can help him send it home if he has the chance.
Xiao Hei is an orphan. His parents died early, but there are still several younger brothers and sisters in the family. Xiao Hei, who is very despised, is always generous to his younger brothers and sisters. After rewarding those high-quality fabrics, he is reluctant to wear them and replace them, but he is willing to send them home directly for his younger brothers and sisters to make new clothes.
Xiao Hei’s biggest wish is to wait until the Eastern Expedition is over, and after returning home, he will buy 200 acres of land at home and then build a big house. It doesn’t have to be too good. It would be enough if it could be as big as the house in Nanshan Village, Luo before.
He often counts his own money, the money he saved at home, and the money he has sent to join the army.
Many fellow villagers mocked Xiao Hei for not daring to fight, saying that he would not be able to earn an official position if he didn't dare to fight. After all, he could have fame without tucking his head on his belt. He was the son of aristocratic family, not like them. But Xiao Hei just smiled at his fellow villagers every time, not because he was really timid, but because he had too much concern. There were several young younger brothers and sisters at home, and his parents left early and the clan could not take care of him.
He remembered deeply that there were days when he often ate wild vegetables. Now he was in the army. As long as he did not die, he would always get a lot of rewards every time he fought. He took the money home and could support his younger brothers and sisters.
The younger brothers and sisters are still young, so he plans to send them to study and learn from the school, buy land and build houses in the future, and marry them.
If he died in battle, what should they do?
Pyongyang City was finally captured. When Xiao Hei cheered with his brothers, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, he survived another big battle. This time, if he defeated the enemy capital, he would definitely give him a lot of rewards. Perhaps the Eastern Expedition will be over soon, and he might be able to return home early and buy land and build a house in advance.
After breaking through Pyongyang, Xiao Hei and his team were divided into an alley. This is the practice of the Luo family army. Whether it is breaking through the bandits or capturing the enemy's city, after the battle, each regiment battalion will be divided according to the section, and then each is responsible for taking charge of the remaining enemies, checking out money and other spoils.
What Xiao Hei likes to do the most is this task. This task is not dangerous, and it always makes people feel happy when they find the spoils. Although no matter how much they are, they cannot be put into their own pockets, after handing over it, General Luo will not take a single slightest bit. He will let all the military documents be accounted for and finally divide them according to the Luo family army's convention.
Part of it is used as a subsidy for the injured and disabled soldiers, part of it is used as a reward for the soldiers who have made meritorious service, part of it is used for military purposes, and the last part is used to adopt orphans and teenagers to serve as successors for the soldiers who have died. The rest will be taken out and distributed to the entire army.
After breaking open a door that was painted, Xiao Hei led his men to search. He was definitely a rich man who could paint the door. The paint these days is extremely valuable.
"Search carefully and don't let go of any corner. If you find someone, you must interrogate them separately." Xiao Hei is already familiar with his experience.
As soon as he entered the yard, he immediately told the brothers below to come.
"Don't worry, teammate, deputy." A group of spearmen said with a smile.
"People's deputy, discover the underground secret room." A spearman shouted hurriedly.
Xiao Hei hurried over to check and found that there was indeed a hidden door at the foot of a rockery in the yard, but the door was blocked. Based on his experience, he immediately concluded that there must be someone inside.
"First use smoke, then use the wood to knock it away."
There must be good things in the lacquer door and secret room, and Xiao Hei was very excited. According to the practice of the Luo family army, although he was given back to the public, the spoils collected by each regiment battalion could directly take out a certain proportion as their reward share.
If the search is too much, the commission is not a small number, and it may allow him to buy a few acres of land in his hometown.
When the smoke started, a spearman slammed the cigarette in. Sure enough, a cough came from inside after a while. Then everyone slammed the door and the door of the secret room opened.
A team of spearmen rushed in.
Soon, there was a sound of gold and iron intertwined inside. Xiao Hei's brows tightened, and he quickly lifted his horizontal knife and rushed in.
When he rushed in, he found that the brothers who had entered the first had fallen to the ground in a row. Xiao Hei's eyes turned red and he held up his knife and slashed over.
There were dozens of people hidden in the secret room, and a group of servants protected a Goguryeo official and his family.
But what's the use of these people resisting? In a short while, Xiao Hei and the others killed all these dozens of people.
Xiao Hei was not injured, but he was very angry. He had already broken through Pyongyang and the war had ended, but now five brothers in his team died here, and they shouldn't have died.
The angry Xiao Hei and the others killed all the men in the secret room. He had a few angry brothers under him and wanted to vent their anger with the group of women.
It happened that Luo Cheng took Bai Ma Yi from the inspection city and heard the shouts of killing here and took a look, and stopped the group of people in time.
Otherwise, with Luo Cheng's military law, although Xiao Hei and his friends killed the rebellious Goguryeo people, they would definitely be dealt with by the military law, which is where Luo Cheng cannot cross the line.
Luo Cheng personally inquired about the situation, then comforted Xiao Hei and others, and finally he asked someone to take the women away.
Originally, Xiao Hei thought that this matter would be over.
But unexpectedly, that night, Luo Cheng actually came to their team with two jars of good wine.
"No need to be polite. I'm not here to patrol, I'm just here to come to have a drink with you. You don't have to be too polite. Look, I'm not only bringing a team of personal soldiers, but also an officer today, just because I'm afraid you're too restricted."
Luo Cheng generally does not drink alcohol, especially in the army.
But today, he came to Xiao Hei with wine.
"I remember you, Xiao Hei from Shuinanli, Changbai Township. You are the first group of village heroes I recruited." Luo Cheng patted Xiao Hei who was a little nervous.
Xiao Hei didn't expect that the general would still remember him. He thought that although he was the first to join the village group, a few years later, and now the general's tens of thousands of troops do he still remember him as a small team deputy?
"Call all the brothers in your team. I know your team is on vacation today. Anyway, they are not on duty and have no tasks. So let's drink together, so don't violate military rules."
Xiao Hei was still a little restrained at first, but after chatting with Luo Cheng for a while, he found that although he was the marquis, he still had no airs. He also talked about a lot of old things about the village group, so Xiao Hei gradually became less nervous and restrained.
However, there are many spearmen in Xiaohei's team. They used to hear Xiaohei brag about what happened when he followed the general, but they didn't believe it. In their opinion, if Xiaohei really had this qualification, would he still be a team deputy?
Not to mention that Xiao Hei once said that Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou had worked under Xiao Hei.
Luo Cheng put down his airs, poured wine for everyone, and talked about various things, but he always started to start and then listened quietly to everyone's chat.
Luo Cheng likes to listen to everyone’s chats, and he also likes to go directly to the grassroots level and listen to the voices of the brothers at the bottom, especially after drinking some wine, they slowly let go of the chat. At this time, they can hear more true voices.
We can also hear a lot of reactions to some of the problems of Luo Family Army. It is difficult to hear them directly from the generals around us, but now we can hear them directly.
"Our team Zhao is very brave, a man from Hebei. Unfortunately, when he attacked the palace, he was stabbed to death by a Goguryeo man with a spear." Xiao Hei said with some loss, "The team Zhao team is the fifth team leader since I conquer Liao."
The team leader needs to stand at the forefront of the entire team, and has the highest casualty rate, even higher than ordinary soldiers.
After drinking until midnight, Luo Chengcai left.
The next day, Xiao Hei's head was still a little painful. Before his head could fully wake up, he was ordered from above and was promoted to the head of his team and was actually awarded the ninth-rank official rank.
In addition to being promoted, the superiors also sent him a sum of money, a full hundred volts.
"This is a quota, and all the money is placed in the military account. This money is our general's own money. It is said that it is given to you. Although it is not a hundred guan, it is enough to make up for the part you don't want to buy 200 acres of land to build a house, and it can even help you marry a wife."
