The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Many of the people who came to participate in the "Preparation for Bandits" had already participated once last year. Xun Zhen thought it would be easy to line up, but the result surprised him.

The six added together, nearly a hundred people. Among them, there are relatives and acquaintances, and there are those who have quarreled and hated each other, especially between Beipingli and Chunli. Because of the year-round competition for water and land, there are almost no people in the village who do not have hatred. There was Xun Zhen and Ting She and the others in the lichang, and although they didn't fight each other as soon as they met, they always glared at each other and cursed at each other.

It's like chaos on the field.

Relatives and acquaintances wandered around, talking together; for those who had fought and feuded, you didn’t see me going well, and I saw you didn’t go well. You look at me and I look at you like a cockfight. The rijongs were all hoarse, and Huang Zhong and Du Mai were about to break their legs. It took half an hour and the line was not ready.

Xun Zhen frowned.

At this time, seven or eight people came from the south on horseback. Riding a horse is not the same as walking. Seven or eight people rode on horses, and the momentum was greater than that of dozens of people walking, and when they got close, everyone could see clearly that the few knights were all holding bows and arrows and wearing straight swords. Handle halberd.

The field slowly fell silent.

The knights urged their horses to move forward, and with their heads held high, they passed in front of the noisy limin, and came to Xun Zhen. The leader shouted, and everyone dismounted. Xun Zhen recognized the leader. When he went to Xu Zhong's house with Qin Gan and Liu Ru that day, the Xu family gathered a lot of local light knights.

The man said loudly, "In Xiajiang Qin, I will meet Xun Jun." He took the lead and bowed down. The few people who followed him fell to the ground and said unevenly, "Under XX, see Xun Jun."

"Jiang Qin" continued: "The birds have heard that Xunjun called people to prepare for the bandits, and they are beyond their own power, so they came to serve. I hope that Xunjun will not dislike the incompetence of the birds and take us in."

The seven or eight people who came here were all acquaintances, and most of them had met twice, once at Xu's house and once when the pavilion was surrounded. ——The one with the halberd and the two kneeling beside him met for the third time. It was the two of them who accompanied Xu Ji to deliver clothes and eat food to the pavilion the day before yesterday. The two of them really did what they said. The day before yesterday, they said they would come to participate in the "preparation for bandits", and they brought people here today.

Xun Zhen returned the salute and smiled: "It's not the first time we've met, so why should I restrict the etiquette? All of you are strong men, I'm very grateful for your presence. This year's 'preparation for bandits' has three points of confidence!  …, gentlemen, please hurry up rise."

Su Ze, Su Zheng brothers, and Ben Ting's party Xu Zhongpeng greeted them when they finished the ceremony. Su Ze smiled and said, "Aqin, Ajia, Abing, if I knew you were coming, our brothers would not come!"

"Why?"

"Who doesn't know that you, Jiang Qin, are number one, and who doesn't know that you, A Jia and A Bing Kunzhong, "the halberd and the crossbow cannot be used as a powerful crossbow"?"

Together, there were thirteen or four people from Xu Zhongpeng's party who came to participate in the "preparation for bandits". At this time, they gathered around Xun Zhen, and when Su Ze finished speaking, they all laughed. There are tyrannical people who look around, arrogant and complacent, and look down on the people of the li.

Shi Juxian also came over. Seeing that Xun Zhen was at a loss, he knew that he did not understand, and he explained with a smile: "Jiang Junjing is good at hand fighting, and the villagers call it 'the first in hand fighting'. One of the Gao brothers is good at using halberds, and the other is specializing in strong crossbow. , the villagers called it 'the halberd and the crossbow cannot be used as a powerful crossbow'."

"Hand fighting" means fighting with bare hands. The Gao brothers were the two people who gave Xu's mother something the day before yesterday, the one with the halberd and the one who was kneeling beside him just now. One was Gao Jia and the other was Gao Bing.

Xun Zhen suddenly realized that the so-called "hand fighting first" and "the halberd and the powerful crossbow are not acceptable" are the nicknames of Jiang Qin and the Gao brothers. He said with admiration: "I see that all the monarchs are magnificent, and I know that they are all Yingyin Huben. But I don't know that Jiang Jun and Gao Jun Kunzhong have such a reputation. With all of you coming, I expect that thieves will not dare to offend this year. I'm on the edge!"

Everyone likes to listen to good words, and when they hear his praise, everyone is even more energetic. Jiang Qin glanced at the chaotic Zhuli people and asked, "This is?"

"Oh, these are the people selected by our pavilion to participate in this year's 'preparation for bandits'. Today is the first day. I want to arrange them according to their origins in the book, and arrange the troop for convenience in the future. exercise."

Jiang Qin invited Ying and said, "If that's the case, I invite Xun-Jun to watch, and the bird will do the work for you!"

Xun Zhen's original intention of recruiting people to "prepare for bandits" was to build her own team. Seeing Jiang Qin volunteered, of course she would not refuse. She just took the opportunity to see how talented he was, and said, "Then there is Lao Jiangjun."

Jiang Qin turned around, first ignoring the people in Zhuli, but instructing the people who came with him to draw out six areas on the opposite side of the road, leaving one person in front of each area, and then came to the people of Zhuli. front. He often came to Fanyang Pavilion, recognized the chiefs of all li, called out their names one by one, and said, "Please take the nobles to stand somewhere."

"So-and-so" who was named by him, that is, the person he had previously stayed in front of each area, all responded, "Here!"

A group of eight of them, riding horses and holding soldiers, rushed forward. They had already won the first place, and they were all well-known local chivalrous men. The residents of Fanyangting recognized them and did not dare to disobey. Those who gathered together did not speak. Now, the glares at each other stopped, and they all followed his instructions honestly and followed the chief of the book to each area to stand.

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "I wanted to show my love to my generation, but I didn't expect them to be more effective than the words of the li chief."

Although the head of the ri has an official body, the residents of the li live with him for one li and see each other every day. Moreover, the chiefs of the li are all natives, and most of the ri people have relatives or clansmen. There is a saying: "Familiarity does not follow the etiquette", not to mention relatives and clansmen? It is also possible that the people in the villages sometimes don't take their words seriously. But Jiang Qin and others are different, one is from Waiting, and the other is "familiar and famous", and the people in Li will inevitably be afraid. Once you are afraid, of course you will obey.

It didn't take much effort, and all the people in each li stood at the designated positions, and the chaos just now was no longer cluttered.

Jiang Qin returned and replied: "Xunjun, everyone has stood up. What should I do next? Please tell me."

When he was at Xu's house that day, when faced with the arrival of Qin Gan, Liu Ru and others, Jiang Qin was the most angry, and even drew his sword. Xun Zhen always thought he was a reckless martial artist. Mai, Huang Zhong, and the others had done what they hadn't done for a long time, and unknowingly looked at him with admiration and thought, "I underestimate him."

He traveled from a previous life. As a traveler, as a "guest", he developed the habit of "be courteous" since then. To the people of that time and the local aborigines, he always maintained A kind of "courtesy", and this kind of behavior, in the eyes of others, is gentle and polite. For example, the head of Gao Yangli praised him as the most polite person among the Xun clan's children.

But in fact?

He will respect the elders, and he will not look down on those who are lowly servants, but his politeness is just an attitude to most people, a kind of self-consciousness as a "guest". He did the same to all the people in the pavilion, all the people in the li, including the people in the county, and just now to Jiang Qin, Gao Jia, Gao Bing and others. But at this moment, he showed some sincerity and said to Jiang Qin with a smile, "Does Jiang Jun only have the nickname of number one?"

"What do you mean, Xun Jun?"

"I think I should add another sentence of 'Ryosuke Yingcai' to you!"

Only then did Jiang Qin realize that he was complimenting him, and said humbly, "Xun-Jun is so wrong, I don't dare to deserve it. It's just a little thing, how can I be worthy of being a 'Liangfu Yingcai'?  …, Xun-Jun, how can I arrange it? ?"

"I plan to organize the people in the army into one group and divide them into teams." Jiang Qin was clearly the brain of Xu Zhongpeng's party. To show respect for them, Xun Zhen asked him, "What do you think? ?"

"Follow Xun Jun's orders."

Xun Zhen called Huang Zhong, Du Mai, Chen Bao, and Fan's brothers, surrounded by them, and came to the front of Li Min, who was on the opposite side. Jiang Qin did not follow, but greeted the six people who had just been dispatched to come back, and stood at the door to watch.

Xun Zhen invited the chiefs of all the li to come over, discuss with them, and first stated his own plans, saying: "Since you want to practice 'preparing for bandits', then you cannot do without training. I am going to follow Zheng Jun's practice last year. All the people are divided into teams and groups according to their origins, and then the leaders are selected from them. What do you think?"

The correct organization should be organized according to the arms. Although the people of Limin did not ride on horses, they were all on foot, that is, infantry, but there are several categories of infantry, including bowmen, heavy infantry, and light infantry. They are classified and organized into teams, but under the current circumstances, it is obviously impossible to organize according to this. Because this is not a regular army after all, and after the training, it is impossible for these people to live together, and they still have to return to their original books. Therefore, the key to the establishment of "preparation for bandits" is not in the arms, but in the place of origin.

The chiefs of all the li said, "That's right, I have no opinion."

Last year, there were only 50 people who formed a team. This year, there are nearly 100 people, which can be organized into two teams.

...

The military system of this dynasty is "department system".

The highest is "Army", which is not permanent, but only in wartime. Followed by "Ministry", under the jurisdiction of five "qu". Once again for "qu", under the jurisdiction of two "tun". Once again "tun", under the jurisdiction of two "teams". Once again for the "team", under the jurisdiction of five "even". It is "Wh" again, and has two "Wu" under its jurisdiction. The smallest is "Wu", with the corporal leader as the leader, and each troop has five people.

...

The number of people in each li varies. For example, there are thirty people in Peiping, which are round numbers; there are more than ten people in Jinglao, which are not round numbers. According to the distance of each li, Xun Zhen compiled them together and made up the whole number.

Compared with each li, the people of Andingli have the best weapons, the best clothes, and the best mental outlook.

Xun Zhen first asked their names and ages one by one. Huang Zhong followed behind him. Every time he asked someone, Huang Zhong wrote down one person and quickly asked again. Xun Zhen noticed that most of them had the surname Shi, as many as ten people. In addition, there are two surnames, Shan and Zhuo. The surname is the least, only two or three. Obviously, the surname Zhongshi in Andingli is the largest clan, and the people with the single surname are the most meager.

All the people with the surname Shi were from Shi Juxian’s clan. He suggested: “Being familiar with each other from the same clan. For the convenience of training, why don’t Xun Jun not divide them by surname?”

Xun Zhen didn't want to divide by surname. "Familiar with the same clan" is not wrong, but it is also because of familiarity. If they are divided into "even" and they are hugged into a group, it will not be easy to practice. However, he has his own plans and has a comprehensive plan for the future drills. He doesn't care about the temporary "points" at the moment, so he does not have the face of refuting Shi Juxian, and follows his words: "Shi Jun said very much. this arrangement."

Take out the surnames of history and form one. The remaining surplus constitutes the second, and the insufficient troops are made up by people from the adjacent villages.

Because most of these two "shes" come from Andingli, they are called "Anding Zuoshi" and "Andingyoushi".

"Youshi" are all surnames of Shi, and "Shichang" naturally chose Shi Juxian. "Zuo Shi" has the most surnamed Zhuo, accounting for half of them. "Shi Chang" was chosen by themselves, and as Xun Zhen expected, a surnamed Zhuo was elected.

One "Wh" and two "Wu".

After the two "evens" were compiled, Xun Zhen directed them to form two teams horizontally. The former Qin Dynasty respected the left, and the current Dynasty respected the right, and the two "Shi Changs" elected stood on the far right of the team. The "corporal leaders" stood on the far right of Benwu.

The queue is not according to the height, but according to the rank.

The taller ones go to the right, and the lower ones go to the left. Roughly speaking, those with high titles are usually older, because every time the imperial court awards titles to the people of the entire empire, the older they are, the more times they have been rewarded, the higher their titles will naturally be. As a result, an interesting phenomenon appeared in the two "even" teams in Andingli: the further to the left, the younger. The first on the right side of the team was in their forties, and the last on the left was only in their twenties, or even fifteen or sixteen years old.

When the queue was lined up, Xun Zhen stood in the front center, looking at it with big eyes, it was uneven, fat and thin, and it was crooked and loose. Some hugged their arms, some tucked their hands into their sleeves, some shrugged their shoulders, some hunched their backs, some looked left and right, and some hooked their heads and scratched their cheeks. This made him very uncomfortable, who was used to seeing the neat formation of the army of later generations. There is nothing he can do if he is not used to it, he comforted himself and thought: "It is not bad to be able to do this for the first time. Anyway, at least everyone is here. As for the queue, we will talk about it later."

His team of self-preservation in troubled times is probably part of the people in front of him, so he didn't want to give them the first impression of being "strict and harsh", he pretended to be satisfied, smiled and said to the chief of Andingli: " All the people in Guili are full of vigor, the spirit of Longma!"

"Dragon Horse Spirit?"

The head of Andingli tasted this word again and again, and the more he tasted, the more he liked it, and said to Limin, "Did you hear that? Xun Jun praised our dragon and horse spirit! We in Andingli want dragon and horse spirit! Longma spirit is at peace!" Good nickname, he liked the word, and immediately put it on Benli's head.

When he spoke, his nephew couldn't help but cheer, Shi Juxian responded loudly: "Thank you Xun Jun for your praise, the spirit of Longma is stable!"

The residents of the village were infected and affected, and they all shouted: "Dragon and horses are mentally stable!" Although the intonation was uneven, it was very chaotic, but at least the pitch was high enough and the voice was loud enough. "What" adds a bit of "vigor and vitality".

This was an unexpected joy, and Xun Zhen, Huang Zhong, Du Mai, Chen Bao and others all laughed.

...

According to the method of compiling Andingli, we will compile them in turn for all the li.

...

Since the arrival of the people from all over the world, Xun Zhen has been observing them.

Compared with weapons and clothing, Andingli is the best, and he is indeed the richest in Benting.

But compared to the arrogance, Peipingli No. 1~www.novelmt.com~ They have the most people, thirty people, maybe they are relying on the crowd, or they may be used to being domineering in Lizhong, just now and Chunli The small friction is what they lead. Fortunately, with their Li Chang Su Hui and the big and small Su brothers, they just stopped in the eye contest and didn't move their arms.

And if we talk about the reverence for Xun Zhen, the people in Nanping are most in awe. This probably has something to do with Xun Zhen detaining the rogue Wu Gui among them. When Jiang Qin, Gao Jia, Gao Bing and the others arrived, there was a slight commotion, but they soon became quiet. Wang Tu, who was killed by Xu Zhong, was one of them, so when facing Xu Zhong's cronies, they inevitably had mixed emotions.

Fanli and Chunli are nothing special.

If they were forced to find one for them, it would be that the people in Fanli were older, generally in their mid-thirties.

Compared with other places, people in Chunli are more united. When the residents of Beili were running around and talking to relatives and acquaintances, they were the only ones who gathered together and did not move. This should be because they have the least number of people, only three or five, so they are more cohesive.

And the most friendly and popular ones are in respect for the elderly, and there are the most people who greet them. Xun Zhen listened to it, and most of the people who greeted him were people in the family who had been sick. Later, they ate the talisman water from the Respect for the Elderly, so they recovered.

Xun Zhen couldn't help but secretly worry about this. Most of the Taiping Dao believers on the bright side were in respect for the elderly, but what about potential Taiping Dao sympathizers?

Of course, it cannot be said that all Taiping Dao believers will participate in the Yellow Turban Uprising. Xun Zhen remembered that there seemed to be a Taiping Dao believer who confided to the imperial court before the Yellow Turban Uprising was about to break out, and this person seemed to have a high status in Taiping Dao. However, compared with those who do not believe in Taiping Dao, each additional believer of Taiping Dao or potential supporter of Taiping Dao in his jurisdiction will be in greater danger in the coming chaotic times. many.
