Chapter 982 Wugui
Good luck came and I couldn't stop it. I just accidentally won 13 gold medals, worth 300 guan. In the blink of an eye, he was awarded rank and official again?
Qin Buqi stood there in a daze, motionless.
My brain went completely blank.
"Why, the official rank given by the Duke of Wei is not enough?" Qin Cunxiao stood aside, very dissatisfied with his subordinate, but although his tone was dissatisfied, it was actually full of maintenance. From Chang'an, he brought a group of classmates from Yulin Palace, and several righteous brothers to Guangzhou with his foster father.
Gained the trust of the adoptive father and asked him to form the Economic and Strategic Dental Army.
Although the man sent a letter to let the troops in the south of the Five Ridges dispatch elites to send him here, he also passed the personal assessment and screening after arriving here, and in the end he basically chose one of the three to be retained.
Qin Buqi was the one who fell in love with him personally. It turned out that he was in the army of Zhenhai Yuan Zhulin. He was said to be a thorn in the head, capable, but also fond of trouble. Yuan Zhulin loved and hated this young man, and finally recommended him to come. Tooth Army.
Originally, Cunyi and a few others said that such thorns should not be kept, they are just soldiers.
However, after personally interviewing Qin Buqi, Cunxiao kept him, and overcame all opinions, making this thornhead the standard-bearer of the Eighth Regiment.
Although the standard bearer is an unofficial military position and has no rank or rank, the standard bearer has always been the elite of the elite of the army, and he bears heavy responsibilities. The location of the military flag is also the heart of the army. Sometimes it is even more important than the chief officer. If you really fight Then, everyone followed the military flag to advance and retreat.
This kid is also up to the mark, he took the job of the standard bearer, trained hard, and didn't cause any trouble for him. This time, there was a sudden competition, and Cun Xiao specially sent him out. I didn't expect this kid to perform really well.
But Wei Gong appreciates it so much, but this guy just stays there.
Qin Buqi finally came back to his senses, slapped himself twice hard, his face was burning with pain, he lowered his head again, grabbed the string of gold medals around his neck, picked one up, put it in his mouth and bit it hard, Seeing the clear teeth marks bitten out, his eyes were red and straight.
He stared at Qin Lang like a hungry wolf.
Swallowed, "What Wei Gong just said, can you tell me again?"
Qin Lang was not intimidated by his action, but just smiled and said, "I said you are a good kid, and now I want to make an exception and promote you. First, I will give you the rank of Martial Arts as a deputy lieutenant under Yihui from the seventh rank, and then I will give you the post of instructor of the Eighth Regiment of the Economic and Strategic Dental Army, do it well."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and patted Qin Buqi's arm heavily.
Qin Buqi finally heard clearly now, and knew that it was not a dream.
Tears flowed down suddenly. This big man in Guanlong, who was nearly two meters tall, cried.
In order to avoid debts, he fled Chang'an on New Year's Eve, and went to Longyou to join the army alone in the wind and snow.
Thinking of his mother and younger sister at home, wondering how he would be embarrassed by the creditors, and thinking of the Chinese New Year, but only a few days of food left at home, he just blushed and didn't cry.
Because a man does not flick his tears lightly, he must be strong and hold on.
His father has been entangled in illness for many years. He owed a huge amount of debt to treat his father. He either borrowed money or avoided debts all day long.
Because he knows that if he admits to being counseled and gives up, then his family will collapse. He is the only pillar of the family. with.
Chang’an couldn’t stay any longer. After going through untold hardships, he arrived in Longyou, and finally joined the Longyou Army. The barracks trained hard, and he was more attentive than others, and he never complained.
Going out with the army, risking their lives to fight, just want to earn some military merits in exchange for some rewards, never thought of being promoted to an official.
Qin Buqi doesn't usually like to stir up trouble, but if others insult his parents, he will definitely do his best.
"Xuan Shuai, I, I..."
The tall man was so choked up that he didn't know how to speak.
As soon as your knees are weak, you must bow down.
"Stop!"
Qin Lang supported him, "As the old saying goes, a man has gold under his knees. I gave you an official position because of your ability, not a personal favor. Work hard and don't let down my trust and appreciation for you. Good payoff."
This scene made the countless Tang soldiers and barbarians in front of the village see with enthusiasm. Qin Buqi, a real grassroots, can counterattack like this, let alone they have no chance?
Qin Buqi today may be them tomorrow.
······
"Huan Changwei!"
Qin Lang looked at the strong barbarian in front of him. He was much taller than ordinary southern barbarians. Many barbarians in the mountains here were shorter than the northerners, even darker and thinner. There is no flesh on his body, but like the Dianma and Qiandonkey, he has great toughness and endurance.
Working in the mountains for a long time has created their different physique and toughness.
Even with bare feet, one can still walk in the mountains. In fact, this is completely a habit of playing barefoot. The soles of the feet have long since worn out thick calluses, which have become an excellent protective layer.
Huan Changsu is tall and burly, and he has another identity, that is, the son of the chief of the Dahuan village, and the number one warrior in the village.
Although Qin Lang failed to win an individual gold medal in the competition held by Qin Lang this time, his performance was actually very good. Horseback riding, archery, fencing, rowing, swimming, swimming, throwing guns with heavy loads, etc. were all very good.
Especially this person has the unyielding brute force, which is very commendable. On the last day of the game, the barbarians basically didn't want to do unnecessary struggles, and they were very casual in comparison, just playing with them.
But this ring is different from Changwei. He has been defeated repeatedly, but he has always maintained an indestructible heart of struggle and has been doing his best.
This is something Qin Lang appreciates very much.
I specially asked him to eat and chat with him, and I learned a lot about this guy.
"You must have a lot of food, such a big guy."
Huan Changwei is not restrained, although Duke Wei's reputation is resounding, but after getting in touch with him in the past few days, he found that this Duke Wei is actually different from the one in the legend, he is neither bloodthirsty nor merciless . On the contrary, the Duke of Wei is young and dignified, which gives people a good feeling at first glance.
Not to mention, in such a high position, he never speaks aggressively, and always makes people feel like a spring breeze. Just because of this, he can be particularly admired.
"Since I was young, I have a bigger appetite than children of the same age. The appetite is several times that of my brothers. I can eat several large bowls for a meal. My father used to say that I will be a brave hunter and warrior in the future. He said that I can eat Only those who eat can grow tall, and those who can eat can have strength..."
Qin Lang pushed the roasted suckling pig in front of him, as well as boiled chicken, stewed old duck and other dishes, Huan Changwei thanked the big pieces and began to eat.
"Watching you eat reminds me of when I came here, I was sitting on a bamboo raft on the Longjiang River. The osprey raised by the boat owner, when they caught a big fish, they opened their mouths and swallowed it. It really looks like you."
"Ha, I had a nickname when I was a child, and it was called Wu Gui. In our place, the Osprey is called Wu Gui." The roasted golden suckling pig, Huan Changwei grabbed it and immediately tore off half of its hind legs, stuffed it in The mouth began to chew fiercely.
"Wugui, the osprey is an interesting animal. It is very capable of catching fish. They can even cooperate with each other underwater to catch big fish that are several times larger than themselves. Some peck at the eyes and some at the tail. , and some have fish fins in their mouths, and the cooperation is very tacit."
"Of course, the most interesting thing to me is not only their fishing ability. There are thousands of birds in nature that are good at fishing, and the osprey is not the most powerful. But among those birds that are good at fishing, but Only the osprey can be tamed and fished for humans. A small collar and a whistle can make the osprey follow orders to fish at any time, and can also hand over the big fish caught to the owner. The big fish returns Master, the little fish is yours, don't you think it's amazing?"
Chang Wei finished eating the big piece of roast pork very quickly, and then picked up the other half of the pig to eat without stopping.
"We live on the banks of the Longjiang River and the Huanjiang River. Most of us are familiar with water, and many people can domesticate ospreys for fishing. Ospreys are a good helper for fishing after being domesticated, but it takes a lot of energy and patience to feed and train them when they are young. Especially since they only eat fish."
Qin Lang nodded.
"I heard that many wild ospreys will even deliberately lay their eggs around the houses where people live, and deliberately give them to humans to help them hatch and feed?"
Chang Wei shook his head, "Maybe, but I think it might just be a coincidence."
Qin Lang poured Chang Wei a cup of tea.
"The fishermen and ospreys on the Longjiang River have given me a lot of inspiration. Although the ospreys seem to be chained and stuck around their necks, they choose to cooperate. Like cattle, war horses and hunting dogs, they have become And many birds that are better at fishing will also be caught by humans, and some people will even look for their eggs specifically to try to hatch and feed these young birds, but whether it is captured adult birds or hatched young birds , cannot become a fishing helper like an Osprey..."
Chang Wei finished eating the roast pig and started eating chicken.
"What does Duke Wei want to teach me?"
"I just think that there is actually a kind of heaven in it. You Longjiang Man, including Huanzhai, or even Yizhou Man, Liuzhou Man, Rongzhou Man, or the entire Lingnan Man, you may be this Osprey , and Datang is the fisherman, this metaphor may not be accurate."
"Duke Wei wants to tell me that we Lingnan barbarians should be like the osprey, listen carefully to the fisherman, catch big fish for the fisherman, and then get small fish to eat?"
Qin Lang smiled.
"I mean, osprey and fisherman can coexist as partners, not necessarily the relationship between hunter and prey."
"Why can't it be a relationship where people and birds go their separate ways without disturbing each other?"
"Because both are in this limited space, it is impossible to say that they do not disturb each other. They are either partners or prey."
Huan Changwei put down the delicious boiled chicken.
"My nickname is Wugui, I was originally an Osprey, and now I am willing to be Duke Wei's Osprey, and our village is also willing to be Duke Wei's partner."
Qin Lang was very satisfied with the answer and smiled happily.
"I admire you very much. There is a united army affiliated to the Economic and Strategic Dental Army. It is planned to be organized into eight capitals, each with 500 people. Come and give you a capital, how about it?"
Huan Changwei immediately put down the white chopped chicken in his hand, took a few steps back, and knelt down to Qin Lang.
"I am Wu Guihuan Changwei, thank you Duke Wei for your appreciation, from now on, I will spare no effort!"
