Chapter 199 Fire Camp [ask for monthly ticket! ]

The military system of the Yin Dynasty was that ten people formed a group, led by a group leader; several groups formed a team, with a team leader; several teams formed a flag, with a captain; several flags formed a battalion, led by a battalion general.

In the Northern State Army, there are more than twenty battalions of soldiers, each with their own duties.

Among them, the larger ones, such as the Iron Soldiers Battalion, had more than 20,000 people; the more normal ones, such as the Cavalry Battalions, had several thousand people each; the smaller ones, such as the Fire Head Battalion, had only a few hundred people...all added up, there were a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses.

The Kyushu military garrisons, together with a small number of city defense soldiers under the command of each prefecture, are seriously supporting a million-strong army.

Moreover, the army of the Yin Dynasty did not engage in production, but drilled in the army every day, just to kill the enemy in war. Only professional soldiers trained in this way could have unparalleled combat power. Although their realm was limited by talent and resources and might not be very high, every warrior in the army could easily beat three or five ordinary warriors of the same realm.

If it is a fight of life and death, the difference in combat power may be even greater.

Behind such a huge number of soldiers, there must of course be strong productivity to support them. Fortunately, this is a world with magical powers and Taoism, so the most basic fields such as farming and animal husbandry will definitely benefit.

The Ministry of Rites has special officials responsible for monitoring the celestial phenomena in the Nine Provinces and maintaining good weather and good harvests. There are also Qigong practitioners who improve rice seeds and feed to increase income year by year. These meticulous aspects are all considered part of practicing to improve life.

Among the 100,000 warriors, even if most of them are at a low level, they still need to eat a lot of meat every day to increase their qi and blood. There are many requirements for diet, and all of this needs to be taken care of by the people in the Huotou Camp.

Therefore, in the military camp of the Yin Dynasty, the people of the Fire Camp had a very high status.

On this day, three newcomers came to the Fire Camp of the Beizhou Army.

"Well, everyone come and gather together." In the barracks of the Huotou Camp, an old team leader with a gray beard knocked on the pot in his hand and gathered everyone together.

This is one of the many large kitchens in the military camp. The stove is pitch black and the air is filled with the smell of oil.

"Let's welcome our three new recruits." The old team leader said, "These are Shang Da, Li Er, and Liang San. They came from the south to join the army. From now on, they will be our brothers."

Then Shang Yunhai, Li Mo and Liang Yue walked out from behind the old leader and smiled at the old firemen in front of them.

The expressions of the six or seven firemen were not friendly, but rather a little hostile.

The old team leader knew this very well, and said as a warning, "These guys were all recommended by Captain Jian. We are all family, so we should get along well from now on."

After a brief introduction, he left to get busy.

Only a group of his firemen were left here, looking at each other in bewilderment.

The veterans were obviously led by a fat man with a fat head, big ears and a strong body. He had a shaved head and the fat behind his head was in folds, which fluttered when he walked.

"Newcomer." He walked over with a domineering look on his face, pointed at Liang Yue and the others, "According to our rules here, newcomers cannot go out to purchase goods, and must do odd jobs in the barracks for three months. You guys clean the stove first, the master will start preparing lunch soon, don't be late."

"Besides." He narrowed his eyes again, revealing a threatening attitude: "Don't think that Captain Jian is so great just because he was inserted here. Everyone here has some background. My brother-in-law is the patrol general! Don't try to make trouble here. My name is Fatty Wang, you can call me Big Brother. I am the most important person here except for the master, do you understand?"

"Hehe, I know." The three of them smiled good-temperedly, picked up the rag beside them, and started to wipe the stove.

That Captain Jian was a former clerk in the Ministry of War. He had a clean family background and was one of the people who would never collude with Jiuyang. The people from the Zhuxie Division wanted to insert themselves into the military camp, and they wanted to arrange a person with a rank that was neither too high nor too low. If it was too high, it would be conspicuous, but if it was too low, it would be useless. So they chose this person.

But now it seems that this official position is still a bit low, which makes these old soldiers not very afraid of it.

Just as Fatty Wang said, those who can enter the Huotouying all have some background.

This place has a high status, low difficulty, and a lot of money. It is a lucrative job that everyone wants to get into, so it is naturally not the turn of ordinary soldiers. Especially in the procurement business, a lot of money can be made from it.

Normally, the task of going out to purchase in the Fire Head Battalion was to take turns with two people every day. But before Liang Yue and his men came, there were only a few of them taking turns, and now there are three more people to share the profits, so the veterans are naturally not happy. That's why Fatty Wang threatened them rudely and directly deprived the three of their right to purchase.

"Should we teach him a lesson?" Li Mo asked in a low voice, "With this guy looking for trouble, we can't take any action."

They thought that if the Nine Yang spies had sneaked in, they would most likely be in the Fire Camp and the Baggage Camp, because these barracks had frequent opportunities to go out. The rest of the barracks could only go out once every ten days, which made it inconvenient to pass on information.

Only then did he sneak into the Huotou Camp and start investigating.

But if we have this group of veterans to suppress us, it will be very inconvenient to move around.

"We can't do anything." Shang Yunhai said, "We can't be sure who the Nine-Yang spy is. He might even be hiding among these people. If his cultivation level is exposed, it will definitely alert the enemy."

"Then we can only use means other than force." Liang Yue smiled and said, "I have a way."

The three of them were talking to each other when suddenly a rag was thrown over there. "What are you doing there? Get back to work!"

"Hey!" The three brothers quickly responded and dispersed to do their own things.

After cleaning the stove, they had to mop the floor, move vegetables, and transport rice. The chores that were originally done by ten people were assigned to three people, which was really busy. …

As soon as night falls.

A group of soldiers in the military camp slept in a barracks with a long bunk bed. Fatty Wang snored loudly, taking up the space of three or four people.

He was sleeping soundly there when he suddenly felt something was wrong. There seemed to be a choking, choking, choking sound in his ears...

"Huh?" Fatty Wang sat up in shock, and saw Liang San, who had just arrived during the day, squatting in front of him. There was a whetstone under his feet, and he was sharpening a shiny kitchen knife.

He turned around again and found two people behind him, each sharpening a kitchen knife.

"What are you going to do?" Fatty Wang asked in surprise.

"Ouch." Li Modao made a mistake and said, "Please shout a little more quietly. You almost scared me and made me sharpen my knife off the track."

"You watch out!" Fatty Wang's eyes widened in fear.

"Don't worry, I'm watching." Liang Yue said with a smile, "Brother Wang, you assigned us too much work, we can't finish it, so we just sharpen the knives at night."

"Don't mess around..." Fatty Wang was surrounded by three people and huddled up in shock, not daring to show off. "My brother-in-law is the city patrol general. Just shout and his people will come."

"We are just working, why are you shouting?" Li Mo smiled sinisterly. He pulled out a hair and blew it onto the knife.

laugh.

Cut off the hair instantly.

"Big Brother, just go to sleep." Shang Yunhai also said seriously: "This is a military camp, do we dare to harm you?"

"I don't think you dare!" Fatty Wang was fully awake at this time, and he frowned and glared fiercely. He immediately closed his eyes and lay down, intending to compete with the three brothers.

But when I closed my eyes, I could hear the sound of scraping constantly in my ears. The kitchen knife was sharpened to an extremely sharp point and was hanging there all the time, which made it really uneasy to sleep.

After a long while, Fatty Wang sat up again and asked, "Don't you need to sleep?"

"We have too much work to do and we dare not sleep." Liang Yue said with a smile.

"I will distribute the chores tomorrow, and I won't leave them all to you." Fatty Wang said in a deep voice: "It's normal for new recruits to do some chores. Why are you doing this?"

"Of course not, it's okay." Liang Yue continued: "Brother Wang, don't you have to get up early tomorrow to go shopping? You have to go five days out of ten, it's really too tiring, go to bed early."

"You still want to go shopping?" Fatty Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then we'll take turns and add you guys in."

"I'm really embarrassed about this." Liang Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

……

The next morning, seeing that the name on the purchasing duty list had been changed, the other firemen gathered in front of Fatty Wang.

"Big Brother, what's going on?" They all asked, "Why were these guys added in right after they arrived?"

"We can go shopping the day after entering the camp? I endured it for half a year!" someone shouted.

They had to wait for several months or even a year to get Wang Pangzi's permission to become his own people and get the opportunity to go out for purchase. Now that they saw a newcomer was immediately put in line, of course they would not agree.

Fatty Wang's face turned pale, but he couldn't say that he was threatened last night, so he was a little scared. Who could stand someone sharpening a knife next to your pillow every night without sleeping?

Even if they don't sharpen their knives, they can't stand just staring at you. We all live in the same barracks, and if these guys are a little more evil, there will always be a chance for them to attack.

He gave in and thought that he would find a chance to punish them later, but he couldn't explain this to his subordinates. After all, once the eldest brother showed his weakness, people's hearts would be scattered, and it was not just those three people who refused to obey.

Just as I was thinking about how to get away with it, I heard Li Mo, who was passing by, chuckled, "Don't you know why the senior brother is so nice to us?"

"Why?" Everyone turned around.

Under Fatty Wang's nervous gaze, Li Mo waved his hand and said, "Because he is kind!"

　Good morning.
