In the school grounds, all the bannermen and horses were present.
Wu Nian, as the acting flag-bearer, led his troops in a straight line, with himself standing at the front. And his soldiers and horses are also unique.
In the hundreds of households in Beishan, the officials were living on empty wages and drinking the blood of soldiers.
The soldiers of each small flag are only full on paper. In fact, there were as few as five or six people, and as many as six or seven. Only Wu Nian's small flag was fully staffed.
When the queue formed, he had the longest team.
Although Wu Nian stood out from the crowd, Xiaoqi and the soldiers were not surprised.
Wu Nian hunted the tiger and became an agent of Xiaoqi. He only had to wait for the official documents from the court to be issued and he would be a serious official.
This official is very unruly. He doesn't take free money or drink the blood of soldiers. He trains every three days, rain or shine.
Simply bizarre.
Soldiers are of course envious. Who doesn’t like such an officer?
Xiaoqi made fun of Wu Nian.
This idiot can't be an official.
Wu Nian doesn't care what others think, he just does his own thing. He raised his head and looked at the stage with a look of surprise on his face.
Li Kun and Cheng Gao were both there, but Jin Mancheng was not there, replaced by a middle-aged man.
Wu Nian recognized this man. He was the leader of the Jinman City soldiers, named Zhang Gui.
Wu Nian recalled how Jin Mancheng went crazy when he killed the tiger. Enlightenment emerged in my heart.
"It seems that Jin Mancheng is seriously ill. That's good. Li Kun and I are allies. We can deal with Cheng Gao together, so we don't have to worry about Jin Mancheng."
Wu Nian raised his head, his gaze high, his eyes extremely sharp, like a sharp spear.
"Master Baihu is ill. Today I will take the place of distributing rice." On the stage. Zhang Gui moistened his throat and spoke.
"Whoever's name is called, come up and receive the rice."
Having said that, Zhang Gui took out a roster and called the roll call. Next to the table, there are several large rice vats with special clerks and helpers responsible for dispensing rice.
The soldier whose name was called took the bag he had prepared and went up to get the rice.
Two buckets of rice per person.
This is a pitiful salary after being deducted. But every soldier was very happy.
With so many people in these hundreds of households, how many of them can really serve as soldiers and feed themselves? Two buckets of rice per month is a lot.
Following Zhang Helm's roll call, groups of soldiers stepped forward to receive the rice. Soon, it was Xiaoqi's turn where Wu Nian was.
"Soldier Wu Nian. Come up and get the rice." Zhang Gui said in roll call.
Although his voice was sharp, it did not prevent it from reaching everyone's ears clearly. But Wu Nian was unmoved.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Wu Nian, surprised, surprised, and puzzled.
What does he want to do?
Like Wu Nian's maverick behavior, he led four people to hunt a big tiger, and it was rumored in the military camp that he killed Li Ding.
This kind of thing brought Wu Nian fame.
It is recognized in the military that Wu Nian is a powerful little flagman who cannot be underestimated.
When the soldiers saw that he was not moving, their first thought was that he was going to cause trouble.
Cheng Gao frowned, what is this guy planning to do? He felt a little uneasy in his heart. He turned around and glanced at Li Kun.
Li Kun noticed Cheng Gao's eyes and turned around with an unpredictable expression.
Of course he knew what was going to happen next.
He was very excited. Jinmancheng is very ill now. If Cheng Gao can be brought down, then the entire Baihu Institute will be his master.
"Come on. Wu Nian." Li Kun turned around and looked at Wu Nian condescendingly, roaring in his heart.
Zhang Gui is not a person who doesn't understand anything, and he vaguely senses that something is wrong. But he had no choice but to take a deep breath and shout loudly: "Bing Wu Nian, come up and get the rice."
Wu Nian ignored Zhang Gui, but bowed down and saluted Cheng Gao and Li Kun, and said, "Two general banner lords, please forgive me for not accepting your order."
"Wu Nian. What do you want to do?!!!" Cheng Gao's temples were beating faintly, and he couldn't hold back and scolded.
"Cheng Zongqi. Why are you angry? You might as well listen to the reason why he can't accept the order." Li Kun said with a smile, then looked down at Wu Nian and said: "Wu Nian. Just say whatever you have. "
"This year our Liaodong guards are at war with the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. The imperial court has specially distributed food and salary."
"It's enough to pay six buckets."
"I want six measures of grain."
Wu Nian clenched the handle of the steel knife at his waist with his left hand, raised his head and stared at Cheng Gao, his voice sounded like ice, even colder than the wind and frost in this winter.
There was silence.
Except for Li Kun and the members of Wu Nian's team, everyone looked at Wu Nian in stunned silence.
Everyone knows the truth.
Hundreds of households, general banners, and small banners were deducted at all levels, and the soldiers' rations were extremely scarce.
But can this matter be put on the table?
Can soldiers compete with officers?
At least in the Beishan Fort Hundred Households, no one would break the window paper and talk about this matter.
Wu Nian was the first.
All people who don't know are willing to give a thumbs up in their hearts and praise Wu Nian.
"You are so brave."
Zhang Gui immediately relaxed. He came here as an agent for King Manchester City.
The guard station above distributed eight measures of rice, while Jinman City deducted two measures of rice.
Now Wu Nian only said it was six fights, which was obviously aimed at Cheng Gao. No relation to King City.
Cheng Gao's face was ashen, and he held the handle of the knife with his left hand so hard that veins popped out on the back of his hand. He turned to look at Li Kun with anger, and said in a deep voice: "Li Kun, you have to know. I am not the only one who is greedy, you are also greedy. The little flags are also greedy. They are exploiting each level, two buckets of rice per level. .”
"If you let him expose this matter, you are making an enemy of all officials."
Li Kun was unmoved, smiled and said: "Yes. I am indeed greedy. But no one of my subordinates Xiaoqi dares to cause trouble."
"Cheng Gao. How can you be the commander-in-chief if you are not strict with your subordinates?"
Cheng Gao's face became increasingly green.
"Do you really want to break up?" Cheng Gao growled in a low voice.
"Of course. This is war. Jinman City is in ruins. The imperial court cannot transfer a hundred households from other guards. This new hundred households can only be selected from you and me. If you embarrass me, I will benefit. .”
Li Kun was still calm.
"Okay." Cheng Gao laughed angrily. Then he glared fiercely at Wu Nian in the audience. This bastard. I didn't ask you for surgery, but you attacked me first.
Okay, very good.
I don't care whether you are in the limelight or not. After this incident, I will definitely get rid of you.
Cheng Gao has made up his mind to kill Wu Nian. But now that Wu Nian is angry, he has to deal with it.
Cheng Gao said expressionlessly: "The imperial court distributed six buckets of rice, but the imperial court transported grain from the south. The people and horses ate it, and the food was lost. In your hands, there are only two buckets of rice. Do you want it or not."
"In addition, I want to remind you, Wu Nian. Although Master Baihu asked you to temporarily replace Xiaoqi, you are still a soldier now."
At the end, Cheng Gao's tone was full of murderous intent.
Soldiers.
What you're specializing in is a soldier, you bastard.
Cheng Gao's heart roared like an evil dragon.
Aggrieved, aggrieved.
