The next day, at the urging of Dior, Zhao Hu and others came to the logistics yamen of the wing early in the morning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The logistics chief of the wing was very generous this time, and gave sixty wagons full of supplies at once. Of course, he also clearly told Zhao Hu that all the supplies in this year are here, and if you still want supplies, you will talk about them next year.

Zhao Hu didn't care if this was a hint that he would "not come back this year", and directly took the excited Dio and the logistics soldiers to receive the supplies.

"Sir, I didn't expect the wing to be so generous! That's 30,000 gold coins! After deducting three months' salaries for the troops, there are also nearly 16,000 gold coins in the brigade funds! Dio said excitedly, but immediately remembered something, frowned and said: "Sir, this thing is a bit weird, according to common sense, the funds are concentrated in the hands of the division and regiment to increase the value, and only the salaries and funds of each unit will be allocated every month, it is impossible to allocate a large amount of funds to the subordinate troops at once, how can our fifth wing have so many ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Dio shut his mouth.

He remembered the discovery of gold in the town of Kune, so it seems that the Fifth Wing has even more funds than the brigade? I just don't know what method the Fifth Wing used to keep the gold mine firmly in its hands and not be taken away from above.

Zhao Hu didn't care about these things, but asked, "How many food and military uniforms and weapons are there?" ”

An inventory logistics commander hurriedly said: "500 bags of grain, 1,000 sets of military uniforms, 500 sets of machetes, sabers, spears, bows and arrows, 300 sets of spare parts such as bowstrings and saddles. If food is not counted, these supplies are enough for our brigade to use until the end of the year. ”

Zhao Hu nodded with satisfaction, he didn't care about the lack of food, after all, the five thousand bags of grain he exchanged for horses were enough for the brigade to eat for several years.

And when Zhao Hu left the county with the team, the staff major vaguely reminded him that if there is anything that can be decided this year, he should be in charge, don't always run back to ask for instructions, and try to finish the year.

Hearing this, Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment.

Does the major's words mean that the other officers of the brigade will not leave the unit at least this year? It looks like they're going to dig until the end of the year.

Seeing that his logistics chief came back with a large number of supplies, the soldiers of the fifth brigade finally put their minds at ease, and the team leader, who originally had some ideas, saw that Zhao Hu had received a large number of supplies before he arrived for a month, and knew that this guy had a wide face above, so he had to touch his nose and quickly urge the soldiers to train.

Zhao Hu, who transported back the supplies, after sorting out the materials, recruited his personal guards and all the troops that were mobilized on the same day.

"Starting tomorrow, in addition to the rotation of one brigade to cook for the whole brigade, the other four brigades will follow me for combat training."

As soon as Zhao Hu's words came out, several army commanders hurriedly jumped out to dissuade him: "Sir, it is impossible for five people to be responsible for the food of the whole team, because it is almost one person who is responsible for more than 120 people, and it can't be completed from morning to night!" ”

The logistics soldiers also immediately nodded with bitter faces, let them be part-time military doctors and nurses, and be combat troops? I'm afraid it will break up without fighting, otherwise what kind of logistics soldier is it?

"This is for your good, when you go to the battlefield, the enemy will kill you regardless of whether you are a logistics soldier or not, so you must have the ability to protect yourself. Although the five people are responsible for the food of the whole team, and the workload is very large, you can make a large number of rice balls, and then cook a large bucket of soup, and try to keep the dishes as simple as possible, and you should still be able to complete it. Zhao Hu said.

The logistics soldiers in front thought it was very reasonable, in the past, these logistics soldiers did not forge chains, and they were only sent to death when they went to the battlefield, but now there are people who train themselves, which is very welcome, but when they hear the back, they are dumbfounded.

Rice balls and soup? If five people work hard, they can still complete the food of the entire brigade, but with these two things, can those soldiers who are working hard to forge chains stand it?

Zhou Wen, who already has the ability to be a chef, said: "We can put the meat filling of poultry into the rice balls, and the bones of the poultry are boiled into soup, and change different kinds of poultry every day, I believe that the soldiers can still accept it, and we will add meals to the whole team after the results of the seven-day inspection come out, so that the soldiers should not have any opinions." ”

Hearing this, Chief Wu, who originally wanted to oppose it, thought about it and felt that it was feasible, so he couldn't help but nod.

It's just that Dio asked on the side: "If everyone eats more, how can the victors reflect their identity?" ”

Zhou Wen said with a smile: "You can let them choose food dishes at will, and then I will personally rectify them, doesn't this highlight their identity as winners?" ”

The three remaining captains immediately nodded in agreement: "Zhou Wen's personal guard is a good method, and those soldiers will definitely be very satisfied." Sir, you don't know, in the past few days, those squad leaders have come to the team headquarters to eat, just because Zhou Wen's cooking skills are really superb. ”

Zhao Hu nodded approvingly to Zhou Wen, and then said: "Then it's decided, Dio, Zhou Wen, and Sun Jie will take turns to help the logistics team on duty, while Locke and Luo Fei will follow the training throughout the process." ”

With the issuance of Zhao Hu's order, the twenty-five squads began vigorous combat training.

In combat training, Zhao Hu easily established authority in the entire brigade, as long as no senior officers appeared, commanding this unit was as easy for him as waving his own arms.

Of course, during this period, Zhao Hu also used the funds of the brigade to exchange a large amount of food, horses, weapons, poultry, animal power and various equipment in the market.

However, Zhao Hu was a little surprised that the merchant group brought more horses, food, and weapons every time, and what was even more strange was that they could all complete the transaction, but this was not something that Zhao Hu had the right to manage, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Time passed slowly, the weather was getting colder and colder, the snowflakes began to fall slowly, and the end of the year arrived.

On the last night of 1737, the Augustan Empire was in complete festivities, and all over the country, whether it was the frontier or the imperial capital, whether it was the emperor or the slaves, all awaited the arrival of the new year.

Zhao Hu's Fifth Brigade completely stopped military activities on this day, and everyone got up as soon as it was dawn and began to clean the barracks, clean up the warehouses, scrub the equipment, and then decorate the barracks with festive things.

After everything was ready, everyone began to tidy up their personal hygiene, wash their hair, remove their hair, shave, and clean their whole body, then change into the brand-new military uniform that had just been issued and prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Then the soldiers also started to work early, and after doing a good job of hygiene, they cooked on the fire, slaughtered cattle and pigs, and arranged the seats, and were busy and dizzy, but fortunately, in the past few months, the forging chain has come out, and twenty-five people have made the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of about 600 people abundant.

In the Omant Empire, the New Year's bell rings throughout the empire, from the emperor to the slaves, each congratulates the people around him on the arrival of the new year.

In Kulong Town, Sishi County, Chengqiu County, Wenbei Province, Zhao Hu raised his wine glass and shouted to the soldiers present: "I wish you all a happy New Year!" ”

The soldier also raised his glass and shouted: "Happy New Year, sir!" Dry! ”

They all drank it all with their heads up.

After Zhao Hu sat down, the scene ended like this, everyone immediately toasted each other, played and laughed with each other, and soon the joyful atmosphere was hot, and some forgetful guys were even more exaggerated and carnival.

Zhao Hu watched all this with a smile while toasting to the people who came to toast.

Of his five personal guards, Zhou Wen stayed by Zhao Hu's side to pour wine and food for him, while Sun Jie and Dio went down to make friends, and as for Locke and Luo Fei, they were eating and drinking hard.

At this festive moment, the sound of everyone's laughter suddenly became smaller, and then completely still.

Everyone stared blankly at the tableware shaking by themselves.

This was followed by a roar that made people vomit blood in a frustration.

Hearing this voice, Zhao Hu's face suddenly turned pale, and he spit out a sentence with difficulty.

"Million cavalry!"

"Million cavalry!"

Hearing Zhao Hu's words, everyone jumped up in shock, and a logistics captain with a vegetable spoon muttered to himself with blank eyes.

"Hundreds of Feimu Banner Alliances are united, so it is possible to have such a township force, could it be that all the Banner Departments of the entire Feimu Banner Alliance have been dispatched? How is this possible? Many of the flags are feuds! ”

No one doubted that Zhao Hu's guess for a few days, the muffled thunder like a sea of mountains and seas was not something that tens of thousands of cavalry could emit.

Zhao Hu didn't give his subordinates much time to deal with the shock caused by the millions of cavalry, and almost as soon as everyone jumped up, he immediately gave the order.

"All ready for battle!"

The squad leaders immediately jumped up and shouted: "The squad belongs to return to the camp immediately and reload!" ”

After shouting, they took the lead and ran to the camp, grabbed their weapons as quickly as they rushed in, and then eagerly urged their subordinates to speed up their movements.

Almost at the moment when the team leaders shouted, chickens and dogs jumped immediately, and the food, good wine, tables, chairs, and utensils were all mercilessly thrown to the ground.

The logistics soldiers, who would have been scolded when they encountered such a thing before, did not react at all at this time, and they ran into the team headquarters under the leadership of the captain and grabbed the weapons they were most familiar with during the training process.

The residents who remained in the town were also in chaos.

Realizing that something was wrong, they sorted out some valuables, and in groups of three or four, they poured out of the town and fled in all directions towards the heart of the empire.

Zhao Hu did not stop these people from fleeing, but persuaded them to leave as soon as possible. After all, they simply do not have combat effectiveness, and staying here will only drag down the army.

One of the fastest squads of the cavalry, led by the captain, rode out of the town and ran towards the muffled thunder in the distance.
