Chapter 1362: Training
Zhou Wen, who originally thought that Zhao Hu was going to buy materials for himself, couldn't help blushing embarrassedly when he heard this and understood that it was for the troops. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hehe, no problem, these can be given to you, it is more convenient for us to travel back lightly, but the price can only be calculated when the rally is over." The leader of the chef business group said busily.
Zhao Hu shook his head and said, "I don't have any money, I can only exchange it for a good war horse, how about it?" Would you like to? ”
The leader of the chef merchant group thought for a while, and thought that it would be money to bring back the war horse and sell it, so he immediately nodded briskly: "Okay, calculate the value then and see how much you can exchange." ”
The assembly soon ended, and the Flying Banner returned home with a large amount of weapons and food, while the arms merchants and grain merchants turned to work as herdsmen, driving thousands of horses away.
The Qinglou merchant group can go as they come, but the laughter from the car makes people understand that they have earned a lot of money.
More than half of the gold coins circulating in the bazaar went into the pockets of their merchant group.
The Chef Merchant Group was the easiest to get home, and in addition to the empty carriages, there were a hundred more fine war horses. And this is exchanged for nearly 50 beef cattle, hundreds of pigs, nearly 300 sheep, nearly 1,000 chickens, ducks and geese, as well as all the kitchen utensils, tableware, and condiments.
Of course, they also returned with a bumper harvest, and almost all of the gold coins that were robbed by the Qinglou merchant group in this bazaar went into their pockets.
The soldiers, who had spent all their gold coins, had to calm down and wait for the day when their salaries would be paid next month.
Not wanting these soldiers to be idle, Zhao Hu took the opportunity to order the squad leaders to start training as the highest officer, and set a rule that every seven days to test which team performed the best, and that five jars of wine would be awarded that day, and food would be eaten. At the same time, the team with the worst performance will do seven days of duty for them.
The soldiers who were suffering from the fact that they would only be able to live with coarse tea and light food in the future were screaming when they heard that they could eat food and drink good wine if they behaved well.
They knew very well that Zhao Hu had left all the things of the chef business group, chickens, ducks, cows and sheep everything, the variety and quantity were very rich, hehe, he could eat a big meal after enduring it for seven days.
While the non-commissioned officers were attracted by the food, they were even more excited by the reward that followed.
Hehe, as long as you are the first, you can enjoy the life of a lieutenant in advance, look at the second lieutenant with five personal guards, how comfortable it is!
Some non-commissioned officers who have opponents even ask God to bless themselves as the first and the opponents as the last, so that they can enjoy the services of the other party, haha, they will laugh when they think about it.
In this way, Zhao Hu gave an order, and the twenty-five squads immediately rushed out like little tigers, screaming, and began to train with their strength.
Zhao Hu, who had nothing to do, originally wanted to follow him to train, but was stopped by Dior: "Sir, your purchase of war horses and weapons here will soon be known by the team, you still choose a few horses to give to the commander of the team, the relationship between Lala is wonderful." If you have a good relationship, you may be able to ask for a batch of supplies in advance. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hu nodded speechlessly and motioned for Dio to prepare.
"Sir, twenty horses have been chosen, the best twenty of the remaining hundred." Odi reported.
Sun Jie, who noticed Dior's action, had already dragged the two brothers Lok Luofei and Zhou Wen to the team headquarters, and they were ready to go out with them.
"Count my horse, you and Sun Jie plus two logistics teams, follow me to the county seat with the horses, Zhou Wen, Luo Fei, stay where they are, and bring all the gold coins." Zhao Hu said as he picked up the saber that was placed aside.
Dio wanted to dissuade him, after all, the chief's horse was not of the same grade as the other horses, but he thought that it would be more beneficial to send it out like this, so he kept silent.
Anyway, it's close to the grassland, what horse can't get it?
As for "all the gold coins", it sounds like a lot, but in fact, it is just a hundred coins given to Zhao Hu by the Qinglou merchant group.
Zhou Wenwen looked reluctant, but Dio secretly whispered in his ear: "The commander is afraid that the soldiers will misunderstand that he will not come back, so he left you behind." He happily accepted Zhao Hu's order, because he was now the representative of the chief.
Zhao Hu and his entourage of thirteen people, twenty-one horses, and four empty carriages drove out of the brigade headquarters in this way.
The surrounding soldiers all saw this scene and couldn't help muttering to themselves in their hearts.
This second lieutenant is not going to be like other officers, never returning, right?
Although I saw that Zhou Wen, Locke, and Luo Fei were all staying, my heart was a little settled, but there was still worry.
Although the training continued, the morale had dropped, and everyone seemed a little perfunctory.
This time when you return to the city, you don't need to look for the direction carefully, you are afraid of getting lost, and you won't forget it if you walk through it once, Zhao Hu, who is equal to super radar, leads his subordinates to walk in a straight line.
I don't know if it's because of a straight line or a lot of empty cars, anyway, it took Zhao Hu more than a day to arrive at the county seat because it took two days to complete the journey.
After Zhao Hu entered the city this time, with the help of Dio and Sun Jie, the commanders of the wing who stayed in the county, including several commanders of the fifth brigade, each sent a horse, and Zhao Hu's good horse belonged to the captain of the wing, and then through the staff officer of the major, he asked for help to invite all the commanders to the banquet.
In Zhao Hu and Diou's opinion, a hundred gold coins are enough to spend a banquet in this small place.
The fat wing captain who stroked Zhao Hu's horse smiled at the major staff officer who came to report the banquet: "Although these horses are not worth a few dollars, I can also see his intentions, it seems that this second lieutenant is still very interesting." Since people understand the world, we shouldn't embarrass him too much, after all, they are all colleagues, tell everyone, this banquet should give me face, and I have to be there. ”
"Yes, that is, people with a big heart like you don't care about him." The major smiled and patted his ass, and then said as if remembering something: "By the way, my lord, the second lieutenant also proposed that if possible, it would be better to allocate a batch of supplies in advance to replenish it, and he said that the border is a little unstable. ”
"Hehe, unstable? Unstable, where did he get so many horses? It's not that I want to get more supplies. The co-captain laughed.
"Then reject him?" The Major asked.
The wing commander shook his head and said, "Tell the wing logistics chief, ask him to allocate a batch of supplies to the second lieutenant, tell him to be generous, don't be as calculant as before." You must know that we are all fat now, and we don't have to feel distressed if we leak some oil and water from our hands. At least if we eat meat, let's have some soup below. ”
"Your Excellency is wise. But now that the Fifth Brigade is his largest rank, do you want to call an officer above the rank of lieutenant to go back to the town? The major reminded.
The co-captain smiled, "Who can you call back?" At this moment, who do you call who is anxious with you, it doesn't matter if you are a major or not. Also, there are twenty-five squads in a brigade, twenty-five squad leaders with different ideas, and he is a logistics officer, and those guys in the combat unit will not sell it, this is the arrogant habit of the combat unit, and there is no need to worry about him commanding a brigade with the rank of second lieutenant, you are too worried. What if he was allowed to dominate the entire brigade? Do you still dare to rebel? ”
The major thought that this was indeed the case, so he nodded with a smile: "Yes, the subordinates are indeed too worried." ”
With the request of the wing captain, all the chief officers gave face to the banquet held by Zhao Hu, otherwise even if Zhao Hu gave a gift, they would not have participated in the banquet held by a second lieutenant.
This time Zhao Hu was not left out in the cold, every chief officer came to clink glasses with Zhao Hu, and very maliciously used his military rank to force Zhao Hu to drink cup after cup, hoping to see Zhao Hu make a fool of himself.
And Dio hid to the side and his face turned blue, not because Zhao Hu was poured wine, he was worried about whether he had enough money to settle the bill, after all, these officers ordered good wine.
However, the more those officers forced Zhao Hu to drink, the more surprised they became, and finally gave up their plans to see Zhao Hu's ugliness.
Because Zhao Hu poured so much wine into his stomach, except for his stomach getting more and more round, he didn't have any drunkenness.
The banquet soon ended in a friendly and happy atmosphere.
Zhao Hu looked at a gold coin in Dior's hand in a daze.
"Sir, we still owe the restaurant thirty gold coins for the wine, this gold coin was given to your subordinates last time, and now it ......" Dio's words made Zhao Hu even more stunned.
Zhao Hu hurriedly pushed the gold coins back, he thought that this was what was left after the hundred gold coins were spent.
Dio also knew that this gold coin was of no use, and frowned and said, "Sir, do you want to go back and drive a few horses to sell it?" Otherwise, not to mention paying back the money, it will be difficult for us to live in daily life. It didn't occur to him that the horses had been purchased with the brigade's funds, and that they belonged to the brigade's property, rather than personal belongings that he could exchange for money if he wanted to.
"Just now, the logistics chief of the wing asked me to get a batch of supplies tomorrow, which should be able to respond to emergencies." Zhao Hu said.
He was more direct, putting his thoughts on the materials, and did not pay attention to the fact that these were all brigade materials, and he was not qualified to use them at all.
Hearing this, Dio immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Hey, that's good, my subordinates are really afraid of being chased by the tavern owner to Kulong Town." ”
Zhao Hu didn't care about this obvious matter of separation between public and private, Dio didn't care, the logistics soldiers brought by Zhao Hu didn't care, and those officers couldn't care about it.
As long as you don't deduct military salaries, as long as you can ensure that the combat materials of the troops are sufficient, the above will not care how you use the excess materials. Therefore, there are many officers with ideas like Zhao Hu, and this is the case all over the world.
