The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 2120: Xu 2 Niu Hometown

This year is the holiday year of the army of the South China Empire. They are on vacation from top to bottom. Many people spend a full year on vacation, especially the officers. From the words of soldiers slandering the officers, all the benefits are theirs!

It’s not that the army was merciful or nervous, but last year’s battle was fought tragically, and the other was far enough, from the city of Rising Sun to Istanbul, a full 25,000 miles of sea and land. Many soldiers couldn’t get it. When they arrive in the first batch, they have to stay in Egypt and wait for the ship.

Some of the soldiers were weak. The army was afraid that they would not be able to withstand the long journey, so they let them gain weight in a nursing home before setting off, which also took up their vacation.

In addition, some soldiers wanted to return to North China to visit relatives, which took longer, and even received special approval to continue to extend their holidays.

Waiting is time consuming, and it takes time during the voyage, this holiday is a bit false.

So the army simply issued a long holiday to the officers, allowing them to return easily.

After a big battle, you must take a holiday, otherwise the military will be unstable.

As for the soldiers, many of them are exaggerated-retired, or returned to their own territory, and will not return to Istanbul or Egypt.

In May of Yangchun, Xu Erniu, a non-commissioned officer of the 821th Regiment of the 82nd Division of the Eighth Army of the Western Expedition, finally returned to his home in Bali.

He was the second batch of boats to board. The first batch was for the heroes and those who were drawn by lottery. He was unlucky and won the second batch.

But it can’t be said that luck is bad, and some people still can’t leave!

Speaking of Xu Erniu’s luck, he is a new immigrant, with low knowledge level, not admitted to military academy, enlisted as a soldier, participated in the Western Expedition, and became a veteran. The battle is fierce and he needs experience. Soldier, he was promoted to become a non-commissioned officer!

He is relatively young, but not as tall and strong as the average soldier, barely qualified.

After finally taking the Shanghai boat, Xu Erniu experienced the second long sea journey in his life, once before coming, and coming back again.

Sitting in a sea-going boat, the boat he was on was not as fast as the clipper that Yan Changwu was on. Instead, he drove slowly across the Red Sea, across the Indian Ocean, into the Strait of Malacca, and finally landed in the city of Rising Sun.

It is happily such a long sea journey, he didn't have to spend a penny, it was all reimbursed by the army, including the cost of living in the military apartment in Rising Sun City, including board and lodging, and the food bill was not low.

After staying in the city of Rising Sun for a day, he reported to the military registration office in the city. He was homesick and got on the boat to Bali and returned to his hometown.

My home is in Xi'an Village, Nanting Township, Xinyang District, Xingwang County. I arrived at the pier in Xingwang County and got on the transportation three-wheeled bicycle on the pier to go home!

If he hadn't seen a bicycle in Rising Sun City, he would be embarrassed, because many people who saw a bicycle for the first time didn't understand why.

Since the mass production of bicycles, sales have been raging. In addition to bicycles for personal use, commercial three-wheeled bicycles have also entered major cities. There is also a tricycle fleet at the docks in Xingwang County.

Not only that, another three-wheeled bicycle that is used for transporting garbage is another big one. The coachman steps on the car, and behind it is a small carriage for loading garbage. Xu Erniu saw a car with the number 10 in the middle and written on both sides on the road. The tricycle with the word "cleaning" means "cleaning 10"!

The sun shone in from the entrance of the alley, and a shadow on the ground was stretched very long.

Xu Erniu dragged the luggage cart and walked with excitement. Due to the recent rain and the road was not good, the tricycle did not enter the alley. He got off the tricycle and walked like a spring.

Seeing the shadows on the ground, he flashed in his mind the high-spirited shouts on the battlefield, the exciting charge, the hustle and bustle, the blood rushing bravery, and gradually disappeared with the wind in this simple alley. As if in a distant place.

Got home!

This is an ordinary courtyard with mountains and fields behind it. Four houses have been built in the courtyard.

The big yellow dog in the house lay lazily at the door, suddenly, it pricked its ears, and then rushed towards the little master.

"Rhubarb, rhubarb!" Xu Erniu hugged the big yellow dog with a smile, and shouted inside, "Mother, I'm back!"

The family greeted them. The parents were at home, the eldest brother and sister-in-law, three nieces and daughters, as well as the aunts and uncles from the same town.

Xu Erniu talked about his experience in the army. He used to be a soldier, but now he is a non-commissioned officer.

What reward did you get?

Two bronze melee assault medals. For him who was born as a soldier, the army did not treat him badly. With the two medals, he can enter the government or government institutions after retiring and become a formal worker!

As for the material rewards, his military honors and bonuses add up to more than two hundred silver dollars, which is only what he got after a year of fighting.

There is a lot of money. The average person earns forty silver dollars a year, which is the income of the middle class.

Xu Erniu packed his head and returned from the expedition and made a fortune. The 821st regiment of the 82nd Division of the Eighth Army where he was in has won many battles, and he was sent to the front row several times in a row. When he was rewarded for his merits, he divided a lot of money... Never seen in his life. So many belongings.

It's not bad. Xu Erniu enjoyed the envy of everyone in the house.

Compared with the former Ming and even Xinming, soldiers in South China are by no means at the bottom. There are no good irons but no nails, and good men who are not soldiers. In fact, they are a high-quality young and strong class in South China. Height, strength, and age are all screened. Many soldiers are literate, and this group of people is now quite affluent.

The imperial court prioritizes military affairs, and a large number of social resources are tilted towards the army~www.wuxiaspot.com~ continuously wins, in addition to bonuses, there is also a share...

The image of soldiers is not because of the profession of martial arts, but the South China Army itself has recruited a group of elite young men... If you wait for the time when Nanhua is like the Ming Dynasty where literature is more important than martial arts, high-quality young people will go to study imperial examination , The world will feel that scholars are glamorous and respected.

After talking for a while, Xu Erniu talked about the army and the story of the Baotou guy: "...The Baotou guy is still very tenacious. They rushed forward with our firepower. We killed many of them, and there was blood everywhere. ..."

Everyone was surprised: "Wow..."

He also asked about family affairs. The family is in good condition. His family is a new immigrant and he is engaged in the rose fragrance business. A total of 150 acres of fields have been planted, of which 20 acres are ration fields and 80 acres are planted with roses. , And then sell the roses to the aromatherapy company, and plant some spices of nutmeg and cumin, which are also sold.

The Xu family has three families, each granting 50 acres of land, totaling 150 acres, and Xu Erniu also has 50 acres of land.

Income, the whole family has a net income of hundreds of silver dollars a year!

This income is better than that of Daming on the other side of the sea. Their annual income of street vendors is equivalent to thirty-five silver dollars, but it is very hard, and they can't make so much money when their business is not good.

In Nanhua, as long as you are diligent, you can eat enough and gradually improve your life.

When it was time for dinner, the parents ate together, Xu Erniu took out one hundred yuan, equivalent to ten silver dollars, and gave it to his mother so that she could get something delicious.

His mother didn't pick it up and asked him to put it away, saying that it was going to be used by him to marry a wife.

The value of Nanhua banknotes is strong,

On the first day of returning to his hometown, Xu Erniu and his family had a lively meal and thought it was good!
